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.
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.
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.
