One hundred and fourteen years have passed since the “unsinkable” Titanic settled into its icy grave. Long enough time for it to have come through many different ways to remember it.

At first, of course, the shocking loss of life – more than 1500 lives.
And then the hubris of calling something unsinkable and the predictable loss of the golden age through overconfidence and pride.

Then the age of rediscovery as the wreck was found and explored on the bottom of the sea.

Then Hollywood struck with the record breaking movie.

And finally as a handy platform for all manner of bad jokes.

It was just a ship where many different cascading errors triggered a catastrophic failure. If any one of those errors could have been avoided it would have been a footnote on ocean travel history instead of an event burned into the soul and memory of mankind. Hubris.
