45 Historical Photos Depicting the Story of the Titanic

The Titanic’s fate was sealed when the iceberg was sighted too late, just 1,500 feet away. Experts suggest that a mere 30-second earlier detection could have potentially saved the iconic ship from doom.

After the iceberg was seen, immediate attempts to alter the ship’s trajectory were futile. The first officer delayed his decisive maneuver to turn sharply to starboard, mistakenly believing there was sufficient time to dodge the looming iceberg, a decision that led to tragedy.
