Behind-the-scenes of the Titanic
Arcadia News Leader
April 15, 1912--One of the most infamous calamities in recent history occurs: the largest and most opulent ship of its time, and the vessel most people deemed to be unsinkable, British luxury passenger liner, the Titanic, meets its demise during its maiden voyage. 1,500 people were killed as the stricken vessel sank into the icy waters about 400 miles south of Newfoundland, its massive body snapping in two before becoming completely immersed. "The whole thing was a tragedy from start to finish," said Don Lynch, leading Titanic historian, during the presentation he held this week in the Arcadia High School auditorium.
