The Titanic's Final Night: The Sinking That Changed History | Days of Old Voices

“On April 14, 1912, the world’s most luxurious ship struck an iceberg… and within hours, it was gone. This wasn’t just a disaster — it was a turning point in history.”
Welcome back to Days of Old Voices, where history speaks through the eyes of those who lived it.

Today, we journey into one of the most tragic and legendary events in maritime history: the sinking of the RMS Titanic.

On the night of April 14, 1912, the world’s largest and most luxurious ocean liner — hailed as unsinkable — struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic.

At 11:40 PM, the collision occurred. But it wasn’t until 12:15 AM that lifeboats were launched. By then, panic had set in. The ship’s hull buckled. Water flooded six of its watertight compartments. And despite warnings, the ship sailed at full speed.

As the vessel tilted, the band played "Nearer, My God, to Thee" — a haunting melody as the ship slipped beneath the surface at 2:20 AM. Over 1,500 souls perished in the freezing waters.

The Titanic’s fate didn’t just end lives — it changed the world. New maritime safety laws were introduced. Lifeboat requirements, radio regulations, and ice patrols were all reformed.

But beyond the regulations, the Titanic became a legend — a symbol of human ambition, hubris, and the raw power of nature.
