(CNN) — Today marks the 107th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic.

More than 15-hundred passengers and crew aboard the British luxury liner the RMS Titanic died when it sank on April 15, 1912.

The ship was making its maiden voyage from Southampton, England to New York City when it hit an iceberg and sank about 370 miles South of Newfoundland.

It’s considered to be one of the worst maritime disasters in history.

Not only have scientists and scholars been interested in researching the disaster, but it has inspired songs, films, and even a Broadway musical.
