Do you know where the Titanic sank?

Who among us did not see the picture of the "Titanic" by James Cameron? Perhaps, only lazy. It is thanks to him that the entire population of the planet knows that the Titanic has sunk because of a collision with a huge iceberg. This tragic story leaves no one indifferent: neither sentimental women, nor brutal men. And many are reviewing the film several times, again and again experiencing every moment of the crash.

However, for all the tragedy of the moment and the beautiful story of love, not everyone pays attention to where the Titanic sank. It happened in the north of the Atlantic. The place of death of the "unsinkable" liner you can see in the figure. Most of the ship remains to this day rests on the ocean floor.

Who is to blame for this terrible event? Who can be blamed for the death of one and a half thousand people? It is difficult to find an answer to this question. A monstrous coincidence led to the fact that the year of launch and the year of the Titanic's death coincide. He was destined to swim across the vast expanses of only 4 days and another 3 hours to fight for the right to exist.

Perhaps, if the former key man had not carried a key from the box with binoculars by mistake from the ship, everything would have turned out more safely. Or if the team were not so confident in the unsinkability of the liner, the damage from the collision would be much less. And maybe, if the radio operators were more attentive, they would have heard a warning about icebergs, and collisions would have been avoided altogether. How many any "if", which now will not save the dead passengers of the Titanic and its crew members.

It is amazing how far this event turned the life of the whole society. And after all, there were also more large-scale tragedies, but this one leaves an indelible mark in the soul of each and makes us think about the eternal and transitory.

The place where the Titanic sank is still a pilgrimage destination for many tourists, as well as a find for marauders. The fact is that the sunken ship still keeps many artifacts of the time. Of course, most of them are already raised from the ocean depths. Something is stored in museums of the United States, something is sold from auctions, and something is the prey of souvenir hunters.

Since the death of the most famous liner has passed more than 100 years. In 2012, in honor of the centennial anniversary of its collapse, another memorial plaque was installed . Many specialized travel companies were able to earn good money by organizing excursions to the place where the Titanic sank. Anyone could be over the remains of a giant ship the same day and at the same time that the liner was dead, only a century later.

What happened to the people who survived on that ill-fated day? It is clear that journalists from all over the world closely followed their lives. But only they know what was going on in their soul. After all, many of them lost their relatives in the waters of the Atlantic - husbands, children, brothers, sisters. Perhaps, after several centuries, this terrible tragedy will leave people's memory, but it will remain forever in the hearts of the descendants of the participants of the event, and the place where the Titanic sank will store these memories forever.
