00:00What if the most advanced ship ever built could sink on its very first journey?
00:06In 1912, a massive luxury ship called the RMS Titanic set sail across the Atlantic Ocean.
00:15It was the largest ship ever built at the time.
00:19Many people believed the Titanic was almost unsinkable.
00:23The ship departed from Southampton and carried more than 2,200 passengers and crew.
00:31Among them were wealthy businessmen, immigrants seeking a new life, and families traveling to New York City.
00:39For several days, the journey went smoothly.
00:42But on the night of April 14, 1912, everything changed.
00:47Lookouts spotted a giant iceberg directly ahead of the ship.
00:52The crew tried to turn the Titanic away, but it was too late.
00:57The ship struck the iceberg in the freezing waters of the North Atlantic Ocean.
01:02Water began flooding into the lower compartments.
01:06Slowly but surely, the great ship began to sink.
01:10Passengers rushed to lifeboats as panic spread across the decks.
01:14In just a few hours, the Titanic disappeared beneath the ocean.
01:19More than 1,500 people lost their lives, but the story of the Titanic would never be forgotten.
01:27A ship once called Unsinkable became one of the most famous tragedies in history.
