On the night of April 14 1912 she struck an iceberg on her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York. The iceberg punctured the hull, creating a long thin gash along the right side of Titanic, flooding six of the compartments. She sank at 2:20 the next morning. In this tragedy, the worst maritime incident during peacetime, only 705 passengers from a total of 2,222 survived. Among the victims were some famous people: [John Guggenheim]?, [Isodore Strauss]?, [John Jacob Astor IV]? and [Charles Hays]?. Famous survivors included [Molly Brown]? (thus becoming the "Unsinkable" Molly Brown).
