The Titanic is one of the most famous boats in history for both incredibly amazing and sad reasons.

At the time of its construction, it was supposed to be the vessel of the century and by the time it sailed out, it truly was.

Unfortunately, on April 15, 1912, the Titanic sank after hitting an iceberg. The ship was on its maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City when it hit the iceberg.

More than 2,00 people died in the sinking.

The Titanic was thought to be indestructible and for this very reason, a lot of safety actions were not put into place. For example, there weren’t enough emergency boats.

But that’s not the only reason why the sinking of the Titanic was so tragic. Unfortunately, back then, people were not trained to deal with this kind of accident while taking care of so many passengers and members of the crew.

The Titanic was also famous because of its passengers. A lot of famous people and some of the richest people in the world at the time were on it.

It’s also important to note that the wreck of the Titanic was not found until years later!

While the story has always been famous, it gained even more notoriety in the 90s when the movie Titanic was released, making Leonardo Di Caprio one of the biggest actors on Earth!

In this quiz about Titanic, you will be tested on your knowledge of the Titanic, its passengers, its history as well as the movie.

Have fun! And Bon Voyage!
