A Titanic Distance
Let's get one thing straight: the Titanic didn't exactly do a cannonball into the Hudson River. No, this glamorous ocean liner preferred a more dramatic exit, somewhere in the North Atlantic. We're talking a good 375 miles south-southeast of Newfoundland, Canada. That's like saying it sank in the middle of nowhere, but with colder temperatures and fewer Starbucks.
To put things in perspective, it's about as far as driving from New York to Chicago, but with a lot less traffic and a whole lot more water. So, next time you're stuck in Midtown traffic, just be grateful you're not dodging icebergs.
Tip: Read once for flow, once for detail.
A World Away
Imagine sailing for days, dreaming of the Statue of Liberty, only to end up sharing a watery grave with fish. It's a harsh reality check. The Titanic's final resting place is a world away from the city that never sleeps.
Fun fact: The wreck of the Titanic is deeper than the Empire State Building is tall. So, if you ever feel insignificant, just remember that.
Tip: Break long posts into short reading sessions.
