On April 15, 1912, the RMS Titanic sank to the bottom of the Atlantic, killing more than 1,500 of its passengers and crew.

If it hadn’t collided with an iceberg, the ship would have completed its maiden voyage right here in New York City.

The surviving passengers and crew were brought to the city after being rescued from the sea, and prominent New Yorkers who perished on the ship were memorialized in many ways.
