Maritime History

  1. Golden Age of pirates
    As an island, Britain was home to several pirates and privateers. Piracy was so prevalent in fact that an era during the Elizabethan period was known as the Golden Age of Piracy.
  2. The Titanic
    Perhaps one of the most famous maritime tragedies, the RMS Titanic was a British passenger liner that sank in the North Atlantic on 15th April 1912 after colliding with an iceberg during her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City. It remains the deadliest peacetime sinking of an ocean liner or cruise ship in history. Of the estimated 2,200 passengers and crew on board, more than 1,500 died.
