It was said that as far as it was possible to do so, the Titanic had been designed to be unsinkable and while also measuring in at 270 metres in length the ship was certainly a magnificent sight. But on the 14 April 1912 the Titanic struck an iceberg and sunk in the early hours of the 15 April. Approximately 1,500 people lost their lives in the disaster. In the run-up to the 100 year anniversary of the launch and sinking of the RMS Titanic, the British Library has a new collection of incredible images available to view and licence on our Images Online website.
