RMS Titanic RMS "Titanic" was a British passenger liner that sank in the North Atlantic Ocean in the early hours of 15 April 1912, after colliding with an iceberg during her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City. There were an estimated 2,224 passengers and crew aboard, and more than 1,500 died, making it one of the deadliest commercial peacetime maritime disasters in modern history.

Hart was seven years old when she and her parents boarded the "Titanic" as second-class passengers on 10 April 1912 at Southampton, England. They had originally been booked on a ship called the "Philadelphia" but the coal strike at Southampton that spring kept it from sailing and many of her passengers were transferred to the "Titanic". Almost instantly, her mother felt uneasy about the "Titanic" and feared that some catastrophe would happen. To call a ship unsinkable was, in her mind, flying in the face of God.

In 1912, the protagonist, Horty, leads an uneventful life as a foundry worker in the Lorraine region of northern France with his wife, Zoe, "the most beautiful woman in town." The owner of the foundry where Horty works, Simeon, lusts after Zoe. When Horty wins a company athletic contest, Simeon's prize is a ticket to Southampton to see the sailing of the "RMS Titanic". The night before the "Titanic" departs, Horty meets a beautiful young woman named Marie, who explains that she is a chambermaid aboard the "Titanic".

April 1912 at around 11:40 pm, while the RMS "Titanic" was sailing about south of the Grand Banks of Newfoundland, the ship struck an iceberg and began to sink. Shortly before midnight, Captain Edward Smith ordered the ship's lifeboats to be readied and a distress call was sent out. The closest ship to respond was Cunard Line's away, which would arrive in an estimated four hours—too late to rescue all of "Titanic" passengers. Forty-five minutes after the ship hit the iceberg, Captain Smith ordered the lifeboats to be loaded and lowered under the orders women and children first. The first

On 19 June 1982, the ship had been chartered by the Liverpool Co-Operative Society, but this booking was cancelled at quite short notice.
