RMS Titanic

The RMS Titanic was an ocean-going vessel on Earth, infamous for striking an iceberg and sinking during its maiden voyage in 1912, in spite of claims that it could not be sunk.

The captain of the Titanic, Edward John Smith, apparently escaped the sinking ship when a door to The Captain's Table appeared on deck. (NF novel: Once Burned)


 * Neither the captain or his ship are actually named in the novel, though the reference is implicit.

For centuries to follow, the name Titanic was synonymous with disaster.
