Sinking of the Titanic…..
April 15, 1912…..
At 2:20 a.m. the “unsinkable” RMS Titanic sinks killing 1,517 of the 2,238 people aboard. The Titanic had struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic shortly before midnight while on her maiden voyage from Southampton, UK, to New York City. Masabumi Hosono, the only Japanese passenger, survived, but was ostracized for the rest of his life in Japan as dishonorable and a coward for not going down with the ship.
