一艘被譽為不沉的巨輪，踏上改寫歷史的最後航程。

A ship once believed to be unsinkable began its journey, setting the stage for one of the most tragic and unforgettable disasters in maritime history.

1912年：
英國豪華客輪RMS Titanic從英格蘭南安普敦啟航，展開其首次也是唯一一次航行。

Titanic 當時被譽為世界上最先進與最安全的客輪之一，配備豪華設施與尖端工程技術，象徵工業時代的巔峰成就。船上載有超過2,200名乘客與船員，目的地為美國紐約。

然而，在4月14日深夜，Titanic 與冰山相撞，最終於4月15日凌晨沉沒，造成超過1,500人喪生，成為歷史上最著名的海難之一。

Titanic 的啟航，原本象徵人類科技與文明的進步，卻最終成為對過度自信與安全忽視的深刻警示。這場悲劇亦促使國際海事安全規範大幅改進，影響深遠。

English Version

April 10, 1912:
The British passenger liner RMS Titanic set sail from Southampton on its maiden voyage, marking the beginning of one of the most famous tragedies in history.

At the time, Titanic was considered a marvel of modern engineering. It featured luxurious accommodations, advanced safety designs, and was widely described as “unsinkable.” The ship carried over 2,200 passengers and crew, traveling toward New York City.

However, on the night of April 14, the Titanic struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic. Within hours, the ship sank in the early morning of April 15, resulting in the deaths of more than 1,500 people.

The disaster shocked the world and exposed critical shortcomings in maritime safety practices, including insufficient lifeboats and inadequate emergency procedures.

The voyage of the Titanic, which began with great optimism and confidence, ultimately became a powerful reminder of human vulnerability and the limits of technology.

Its legacy led to major reforms in international maritime regulations, ensuring improved safety standards for ships and passengers in the decades that followed.
