It was the beginning of the twentieth century when the Titanic sank on April 14/15 of 1912.
Science was advancing in all areas of life.
And on October 1910, the New York Times published a review of the Olympic, Titanic’s sister ship.
It ended with the words “In short, so complete will be the system of safeguarding devices on board this latest of ocean giants that, when she is finally ready for service, it is claimed that she will be practically unsinkable and absolutely unburnable.”
