This month marks the 100th anniversary of the launch and unfortunate demise of the most famous ship in the world – The Titanic.
Whilst we’ve all seen the ship glorified in movies and in art form it’s fascinating to see actual original shots of the ill fated ship which sank on April 15, 1912 when it collided with an iceberg and sank in the waters of the North Atlantic killing 1517 people.
