The Almanac of Collapsing Records

The Night the Ship Went Down — Titanic

The Titanic

April 14 1912 — the night the ship went down

the disaster does not erase the people in it — it reveals who they were in the last hour. What surfaces is the self under the cold certainty of loss: who you reached for, what you carried, and the memory of someone who put your life above their own.
