The Ship’s Legend Keeps Growing
Over a century after the Titanic sank, the legend of the luxury liner continues to grow; the ship’s tragic sinking has inspired countless documentaries and films. There’s even a requiem written by Robin and RJ Gibb that tracked the launch, voyage, sinking, and aftermath of the ship. This was performed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
After the ruins were discovered, explorers found that the ship had become too fragile to be returned to the surface but several objects and artifacts have since been recovered from it. Today, the wreckage can be visited by tourists looking to get a look at what once was.
