History of Titanic Remembrance Day
A day that has been remembered for more than 100 years, the sinking of the Titanic on April 15, 1912, was a shock to the world when the ship sank on its maiden voyage, losing more than 1500 lives in the process. This luxury ship, which was built starting in 1909, cost around $7,500,000 to build and two workers were lost during the process of building it.
One of the most important lessons learned about the Titanic is that even though many people thought it was “unsinkable”, it is always necessary to have enough lifeboats on board for everyone. Though the ship was equipped to carry 64 lifeboats, there were only 20 on board. These lifeboats on board the Titanic would have been enough for around 1100 people, but the capacity of the ship including passengers and crew was more than 3300.
Titanic Remembrance Day is dedicated to the memory of the lives that were lost on that fateful day when the RMS Titanic was shipwrecked after hitting an iceberg in 1912.
While the day hasn’t been specifically or officially declared by any entity, the tradition has been that these folks are remembered on April 15 of each year, which is the anniversary of the disaster.
The more than 700 survivors of the Titanic have all now passed away, the last of whom lived until 2009. Millvina Dean was only two months old when her family boarded the Titanic to move to the US. Her father perished in the shipwreck but she and her brother and mother were rescued in the lifeboats.
Titanic Remembrance Day is here to remind people about this somewhat avoidable tragedy, to remember the lives lost and make an effort to prevent such tragedies from occurring in the future.
