RMS Titanic

Background
The RMS Titanic was a ship built by The White Star Line. It had a sister ship called The RMS Olympic, and was practically unsinkable. It would not sink if two, or even four, of its watertight compartments were flooded, but when it struck an iceberg in the middle of The Atlantic Ocean, five watertight compartments were filled, the weight brought the ship down, and the ship snapped in two before sinking. The wreck still lies on the bottom of The Atlantic Ocean. The wreck was discovered in 1985 by marine explorer Bob Ballard. Many books have been written about The Titanic, and many films have been made about it, such as the newly released, Titanic 3D.
