More than 1,500 people died.Now, a team of scientists has moved into deeper waters, uncovering evidence in the builder's own archives of a deadly mix of great ambition and low quality iron that doomed the ship, which sank 96 years ago Tuesday.

| independent.ie | THE TITANIC LOVE STORY THAT CAUSED A RIFT IN MY FAMILY Tom and Hannah had tickets for another vessel but were transferred to the Titanic. It must have seemed like a stroke of luck because steerage on the Titanic was equivalent to second class elsewhere. They shared their cabin with another couple. Privacy was a luxury other classes enjoyed. Still, meals were plentiful, and survivors' accounts report merriment in third class, where the predominantly young emigrants partied during this hiatus between two worlds. Everyone knows what happened next. Three days after leaving Cobh, on the night of April 14, 1912, the Titanic collided with an iceberg. It was a catastrophe that could have been averted if ice warnings from other ships had been heeded. Or perhaps if the lookouts had been given binoculars, instead of having them locked away on the bridge. The Titanic is a story peppered with ifs and buts, as tragedies tend to be.... |

The worst maritime disaster at peacetime in living history claimed the lives of 1,517 people on April 15, 1912, including that of one of the ship’s musicians, a young man called John Law Hume. Born and raised in Dumfries, before joining the ill-fated band of musicians on the White Star Ocean liner, the body of 21-year-old Jock was recovered from the waters of the Northern Atlantic by the MacKay Bennett shortly after the Titanic sank. His unidentified body was buried in May of that year at Fairview Cemetery, Halifax, Nova Scotia.... |

| International Herald Tribune | THE TITANIC'S DEMISE Twenty years ago, a team of scientists led by Robert Ballard discovered the remains of the Titanic 12,400 feet under the surface of the North Atlantic. It was a big deal. When the search team returned to Woods Hole, it held a brief service to honor those who died when the Titanic sank in the early hours of April 15, 1912. Now scientists have discovered large sections of the hull that suggest the ship may have split into three parts rather than two, and may have sunk much more quickly than was thought. This, Ballard said, is not a big deal. "It hit an iceberg and it sank," he said. "Get over it."... |
