The document summarizes key facts about the Titanic. It sank in April 1912 after colliding with an iceberg in the North Atlantic ocean. Over 1,000 passengers were onboard the supposedly "unsinkable" ship. The Titanic was considered very large and luxurious for its time. Social class divisions were prominent, as lower class passengers had limited access compared to middle class passengers. The author's conclusion is that the sinking could have been prevented if the captain had properly planned the ship's route.
