Belfast, While Relaxed
In this timeless shot, the iconic RMS Titanic is docked in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The ship was famous for its magnificence and elegance, which was a monument to the builders’ tireless efforts. While its inaugural journey was widely anticipated, the tragedy that followed was unfathomable. Despite its fame, the Titanic is solely known for being the world’s second-largest ocean ship disaster. During World War I, her sister ship, the HMHS Britannic, capsized in the Aegean Sea while operating as a hospital ship. Fate’s unpredictability, as well as the frailty of even the greatest human accomplishments, serve as a stark reminder of our mortality.

Disaster Rescue Boats
Lifeboats are essential for passenger safety on any vessel, whether it be a luxury cruise ship or a private yacht. The tragic sinking of the RMS Titanic serves as a stark reminder of the need of having enough life-saving equipment on board. Despite carrying over 2,400 passengers, the doomed vessel only had enough lifeboats for 1,178, leading to devastating effects. Surprisingly, the first recorded usage of a lifeboat was in 1807, when two courageous men used a boat to rescue crew members from a shipwreck. Modern lifeboats are outfitted with powerful engines and cutting-edge navigation systems, and they can withstand inclement weather.
