The `Titanic` was a British luxury passenger liner which sank during its maiden voyage from Southampton to New York in 1912. On 14^th April, the `Titanic` hit an iceberg in the Atlantic Ocean. Distress signals were sent to the `Californian`, a ship 20 miles away, but their radio operator was off duty and the signals were not received. Some of the passengers got into lifeboats, but, although the `Titanic` was luxurious, it did not have enough lifeboats for all the passengers on board. As a result, the loss of life was great. Many people died because the sea was very cold. Luckily, another ship, the `Carpathia`, rescued some of passengers. As a result of this disaster, new rules were made to ensure that sea voyages would be safer in future. It is now believed that the `Titanic` sank so quickly because it was too large.
