The Titanic met her end by colliding with an iceberg, and about two and a half hours later, it was on the bottom of the North Atlantic.

The voyage of the crew in a 22.5-foot ship's boat through the 'Furious Fifties' is regarded by many historians as the greatest small-boat journey ever completed.

The Titanic was one of a trio of similar White Star Line ships completed in the early nineteen-tens. In the video above, Bill Hammack, known on YouTube as Engineerguy, tells the story of not just the Titanic, but also the Olympic and the HMHS Britannic. An engineering professor at the University of Illinois, he found in the campus library issues of the journal The Engineer published between 1909 and 1911 that contain detailed photographs of the construction of both the Titanic and Olympic, sister ships that were built side-by-side.

Zheng Yi Sao, born around 1775, grew up in Guangdong and married a pirate, demanding equal control of the Red Flag Fleet as a condition of their union.

In 1916, subway construction near Greenwich and Dey Streets in Lower Manhattan unearthed a surprising relic. Some 20 feet underground, workers turned up charred timber; digging further, the contours of an ancient ship came into view-its prow, keel, and ribs. The wreck was later deemed to be the Tyger, a 17th-century vessel that represents a rare archaeological trace of early Dutch exploration in Manhattan.

ALABAMA - THE HISTORIC S.S. UNITED States ocean liner, currently undergoing environmental remediation work in Mobile, Alabama ahead of its planned sinking and conversion to an artificial reef off of Florida's coast, was this week given a tentative April departure date from that port for its final destination, Fox 10 WALA reports . The new timeline has lit a fire under the New York Coalition to Save the S.S. United States, the preservation group battling to save the ship .

Archaeologists have fought the tides to save a 17th-century shipwreck from a popular nudist beach in Dorset. The remains are believed to be part of the Swash Channel Wreck, a Dutch merchant ship called The Fame of Hoorn that ran aground while approaching Poole Harbour in 1631. The wreck was found on Dorset's Studland Beach at the end of January when Storm Chandra washed away the sand that had kept it hidden for almost 400 years.
