"Only a vestige remains of the women and men that but a moment before quickened her spacious rentals with human desires and passions, sorrows, and joys. Upon that broken hull new vows were considered, new fealty expressed, old love renewed, and those who was simply devoted in friendship and companions in life travelled happily and defiantly on the previous life pilgrimage collectively. In that heritage we must feel ourselves more intimately related to the sea than ever before, and henceforth it'll send back to us on its increasing tide the cheering salutations from those we have lost." - Senator William A. Smith, Chairman of the Subcommittee appointed for the United States Senate Inquiry in to the sinking of the Titanic Right before midnight on April 14, 1912, the RMS Titanic, the largest ship in the world, hit an iceberg, arranging in motion a string of events that could in the end make it history's most well-known, and notorious, ship. In the century since it sank on its maiden voyage, the Titanic has been the main topic of countless fascination, as evidenced by the efforts to find its final resting area, the museums full of its items, and the countless literature, documentaries, and videos made about the doomed ocean liner. Thanks to the undying interest in the story, thousands and thousands of people are familiar with various areas of the ship's demise. The sinking of the ship is still almost as controversial now as it was over a century previously, and the crisis is merely as compelling. By natural means, the intense interest in the Titanic also supposed that there would be great efforts made to find the wreck. In fact, the first searches for the wreck started out in the times after the large ship transpired, but given what lengths down it sank to the ground of the Atlantic and the actual fact that the ship had inaccurately transmitted its location quickly before it sank, initial efforts were doomed.
