EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant image captures the final moments of RMS Titanic, the ill-fated White Star Line steamship that sank on April 15, 1912, after striking an iceberg during its maiden voyage from Southampton to New York. The photograph shows the sinking liner, with its smoke stacks billowing out white steam against the dark night sky, as the hymn "Nearer, My God, To Thee" is believed to have been played on the ship's violin as the passengers and crew prepared for the inevitable. The haunting melody, with its lyrics urging the listener to draw closer to God in times of distress, adds a poignant layer to this tragic event. The date, April 15, 1912, is etched into history as one of the most infamous maritime disasters, claiming the lives of over 1,500 passengers and crew members. This image serves as a stark reminder of the power of nature and the fragility of human endeavor. The Titanic, once a symbol of modern engineering and luxury, became a testament to the unpredictability of the sea and the importance of humility and reverence in the face of the unknown.
