You know the history.

On the eve of April 15, 1912, the Titanic set to sea, full of hope, dreams, and Leonardo DiCaprio. After just four days, the ship unknowingly hit an iceberg, sending the crew and passengers to the cold, dismal ocean floor while Celine Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On” played quietly in the background.

What? Your school books left out those details? Don’t worry – looks like we don’t need no history lessons after all. Now we have Twitter!

Did you know that the sinking of the Titanic was an actual event from American history, and not just some blockbuster from 1997?
