On 10 April 1912, the Titanic embarked on her maiden voyage from Southampton, England, stopping at Cherbourg, France and Cobh, Ireland before heading across the Atlantic to New York. She was the largest and most luxurious liner of her time, but just five days after launching, disaster struck: the ship collided with an iceberg southeast of Newfoundland and sank to the bottom of the sea. Around 1,500 of its 2,200 passengers perished, but some of the survivors went on to lead remarkable lives that stretched into the 21st century.
