110 years ago, on the morning of April 15, 1912, the RMS Titanic sank on its maiden voyage from Southampton to New York, killing more than 1,500 people.

In Ireland, the maritime giant built in Belfast made a stopover, especially in Queenstown, now the coastal town of County Cork in southern Ireland. The city was home to 2.5 million of the 6 million Irish immigrants to North America between 1848 and 1950. 123 passengers boarded Queenstown, and only 44 survived the sinking.

110 years ago, the Titanic sank at 2:20 am. Of its 2,200 passengers, 1,500 were pulled down. However, this liner should not have sunk. What if, instead of the fault of the employees, the failure to comply with the rules caused the disaster?
