New RMS Titanic Collection
Setting sail from Southampton Harbour on the 10 April 1912, the Titanic
represented the pinnacle of maritime technology of the day. 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. The collection
includes spectacular shots of the ship as well as SOS notes.
