When the RMS Titanic sailed away on her maiden voyage on April 10, 1912, the vessel was dubbed as ‘the new wonder of the world.” It was hailed “Unsinkable” by many reporters. Conversely, the Titanic’s profile features four smokestacks that made it the one of the most recognizable ships in history. However, the fourth smokestack served no purpose. The ship, the world’s largest passenger ship at the time, was on its maiden voyage, headed from Southampton, England, to New York City. It would take 73 years for the ship’s wreckage to be found. Dr. Robert Ballard and scientist Jean-Louis Miche located the remains of the Titanic on September 1, 1985.
