GREAT original 1912 DISPLAY NEWSPAPER on the HMS TITANIC DISASTER !!!

The sinking of the RMS Titanic occurred on the night of 14 April through to the morning of 15 April 1912 in the north Atlantic Ocean, four days into the ship\'s maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City. The largest passenger liner in service at the time, Titanic had an estimated 2,224people on board when she struck an iceberg at around 23:40 (ship\'s time) on Sunday, 14April 1912. Her sinking two hours and forty minutes later at 02:20 (05:18 GMT) on Monday, 15 April resulted in the deaths of more than 1,500 people, which made it one of the deadliest peacetime maritime disasters in history.

Titanic received six warnings of sea ice on 14 April but was travelling near her maximum speed when her crew sighted the iceberg. Unable to turn quickly enough, the ship suffered a glancing blow that buckled her starboard (right) side and opened five of her sixteen compartments to the sea. Titanic had been designed to stay afloat with four of her forward compartments flooded but not more, and the crew soon realised that the ship would sink. They used rocket flares and radio (wireless) messages to attract help as the passengers were put into lifeboats. However, in accordance with existing practice Titanic\'s lifeboats were intended not as indefinite refuge but as ferries to rescue vessels, so with help still hours away there were too few places to accommodate everyone simultaneously. Compounding this, poor management of the evacuation meant many boats were only partially full when launched.

Titanic sank with over a thousand passengers and crew still on board. Almost all those who jumped or fell into the water died from hypothermia within minutes. RMSCarpathia later arrived on the scene about an hour and a half after the sinking and had rescued the last of the survivors by 09:15 on 15April, some nine and a half hours after the collision. The disaster caused widespread outrage over the lack of lifeboats, lax regulations, and the unequal treatment of the three passenger classes during the evacuation. Subsequent inquiries recommended sweeping changes to maritime regulations, leading to the establishment in 1914 of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), which still governs maritime safety today.
