Even after 111 years, the image of this ship continues to attract significant interest from many people.
Throughout history, there have been numerous horrific maritime disasters. However, the Titanic remains one of the most well-known tragedies, even though this ship has rested beneath the ocean’s depths for the past 111 years.
In 1912, the Titanic was advertised as the “unsinkable ship” due to the cutting-edge technology of the time. Carrying 2,200 passengers alongside many crew members and staff, the ship departed from Southampton, England, bound for New York, USA, on its maiden voyage.
However, on April 15, 1912, the legendary Titanic sank deep into the ocean after colliding with an iceberg, resulting in the deaths of about 1,500 passengers and leaving behind many heartbreaking stories.
Now, more than a century later, rare images of this ship still garner significant attention and interest from many people.
The photos below were published by Time magazine and are rare references used during the design process of the Titanic film. They capture even the smallest details of life at sea, such as a gym, a child playing, or passengers walking on board, as well as artifacts retrieved from the ship.
