Cruising Deadly Waters From the Titanic Tragedy to the Drake Passage
While the Drake Passage is feared by modern sailors as one of the most treacherous and dangerous bodies of water on Earth, history’s most famous maritime disaster took place in the icy North Atlantic. In 1912, the RMS Titanic was hailed as the ultimate luxury, "unsinkable" ship. Yet, just 4 days into its maiden voyage, it struck an iceberg and sank in under 3 hours. Despite advanced safety features for its time, a shocking shortage of lifeboats meant that out of more than 2,200 people on board, only around 700 survived. From human arrogance to the brutal power of nature, the story of the Titanic remains a haunting reminder of the ocean's strength.
