The story of the TITANIC is one of history’s greatest tragedies and in today’s video from History Calling we’re going to look at this doomed ship’s entire life story, from construction, to sailing, to its collision with an iceberg and its sinking on 15 April 1912 and the eventual discovery of the wreck. Above all we’ll ask, why did the Titanic sink?

MORE INFO. ON THE VIDEO
We’ll start by looking at where the Titanic was built and I’ll show you actual footage of the dock in which it was constructed by the Harland and Wolff shipping company in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Owned by the White Star Line, we’ll learn about the design features of the ship which help to explain why the Titanic sank and why it had insufficient lifeboats. I’ll also talk to you about where the Titanic sank during its maiden voyage, the iceberg it hit, what happened to Titanic's survivors after they were left fighting for survival in the freezing Atlantic Ocean in the middle of the night and their eventual rescue by the ship Carpathia. I’ll explain how the Titanic was found in 1985 and what the Titanic wreck looks like. There will be footage of the memorials to the deceased which are in Northern Ireland and which show just how many people died on the Titanic. Finally, I’ll discuss the myth that the ship was reputed to be unsinkable and reveal some of the stories behind the names of the passengers, including the tales of famous personages such as millionaire John Jacob Astor, Thomas Andrews and Captain Edward Smith, all of whom went down with the ship. I’ll even read out some first-hand accounts of the disaster from survivors of the Titanic.
