When the Titanic set sail on April 10 1912 the ship was deemed the biggest fastest ship in the world and most importantly it was called unsinkable Tragically five days later the ship struck an iceberg and sank taking with it 1523 lives out of the 2228 passengers on boardThe story of the Titanic is probably one of the most wellknown tragedies in history In the eyes of the Rev Don Manley of First Baptist Church of Oxford it is also an event that illustrates the uncertainty of life and the need to be spiritually prepared for whatever might come
