The Titanic departed Southampton, England on April 12, 1912. After four days of uneventful sailing, on April 14, Titanic received sporadic reports of ice from other ships, but she was sailing on calm seas under a moonless, clear sky. At about 11:30 pm, a lookout saw an iceberg coming out of a slight haze dead ahead, then rang the warning bell and telephoned the bridge. The engines were quickly reversed, and the ship was turned sharply – instead of making direct impact, Titanic seemed to graze along the size of the berg. Sensing no collision, the lookouts were relieved. They had no idea that the iceberg had a jagged underwater spur, which slashed the hull below the ship’s waterline. A little more than an hour after contact with the iceberg, a largely disorganized and haphazard evacuation began. And finally, at 2:20 AM on April 15, 1912, the Titanic dove beneath the ocean’s surface. On #ThisDayInHistory in 1985, a joint U.S.-French expedition located the wreck of the RMS Titanic.
