The Titanic and Vitamin Discovery
The discovery of vitamins and the sinking of the Titanic shared the same year in history. It was 1912 when the life-saving Vitamins were discovered and the sinking of the magnificent Titanic took lives. Casimir Funk made a significant scientific breakthrough in 1912.
Funk discovered vitamins in the same year as the Titanic sailed from the port of Southampton , England. As it is, 1912 was a good year for medicine, but it was a bad year for the sailing industry.
