The Titanic, once deemed unsinkable, struck an iceberg and sank, killing over 1,500 people. It was one of the deadliest peacetime maritime disasters in history.
The Titanic carried only 20 lifeboats for over 2,200 people. After the disaster, maritime law changed to require enough lifeboats for all on board.

Crew training and lifeboat drills were made mandatory to ensure passengers and crew could respond effectively in emergencies.
In 1914, the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) was created to standardize maritime safety regulations globally.
Radio watch was mandated to be manned 24/7 on ships. During the Titanic disaster, nearby ships didn’t hear distress calls because operators were off-duty.
The International Ice Patrol was formed to monitor iceberg dangers in the North Atlantic and prevent future tragedies.
The Titanic’s tragic loss led to sweeping changes that have saved countless lives at sea. Its legacy lives on in every ship that sails safely today.
