This week sees the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the RMS
Titanic, one of the deadliest peacetime disasters at sea. Richard
Howells, author of The Myth of the Titanic, explores the various
legends surrounding the ship.

Also up at our Collections section, a short film which appears to show
the interior and deck of the Titanic only minutes prior to its
ill-fated voyage. Included in the footage is Captain E.J. Smith
reportedly inspecting the ship just 10 minutes prior to departure,
various deck promenades, and the actual leaving of the ship.
