The Titanic sank on this date in 1912 after colliding with an iceberg. Some 1,500 lives were lost. The British luxury liner was on its maiden voyage, sailing from England to New York City, and was thought to be unsinkable. In 1985, the wreck was located near Newfoundland by Robert Ballard and Jean-Louis Michel of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. The blockbuster film Titanic won 11 Oscars and was the largest-grossing film of all time.

Great forces conspired to sink the Titanic, but scientists found that tiny ones will cause it to collapse and eventually disappear. In the 85 years since the Titanic sank, iron-eating microbes have slowly sapped the strength from the Titanic's structure. Eventually the wreck will no longer be able to support its own weight.

Titanic is a 1997 American romantic drama film directed, written, produced and edited by James Cameron about the sinking of the RMS Titanic. It stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet as two members of different social classes who fall in love aboard the ill-fated 1912 maiden voyage of the ship. The main characters and the central love story are fictional, but some supporting characters (such as members of the ship's crew) are based on real historical figures, and shots of the real wreck lying at the bottom of the Atlantic are used in the film's opening sequences.
