It's 100 years today, April 15, since the Titanic sank. She sank on April 15 1912 and became one of history's most remembered maritime disasters. The BBC reports the Titanic memorial cruise ship MS Balmoral is close to the site of the spot in the Atlantic where RMS Titanic went below the waves on April 15, 1912, while on her trans-Atlantic maiden voyage. The rough seas that made some passengers on the recreated journey seasick have gone. Talk on board is what it will be like to be directly above the wreckage of the Titanic, which lies four kilometres below the ocean surface. A memorial service will be held there. Reverend Huw Mosford, who will lead the service, says even after 100 years the grief is still very raw for many people. Three wreaths will be thrown into the water. Many on board lost family in the disaster. |
