The Titanic, probably the world's most famous ship, was built at the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and sank in April 1912 on her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York. At the time, she was the largest ship ever built and was designed with 16 watertight compartments, which were intended to keep her afloat even if four were breached.

However, after striking an iceberg on 14 April 1912, five compartments were compromised, leading to the ship's sinking. Tragically, around 1,500 people lost their lives.
