The Infamous Iceberg Believed to Have Sunk the Titanic.

This is the iceberg believed to have sunk the Titanic. It was captured in a photograph taken by a steward on a passing ship the morning after the disaster. Although the ship had not yet been informed of the tragedy, the steward observed red paint on the base of the iceberg, suggesting a vessel had collided with it within the previous few hours.

Despite their small size, icebergs can weigh anywhere from 120 to 5,400 tons, posing a risk to ships. Icebergs today are more numerous than during the Titanic era due to global warming. While technological advances and ship design have reduced their threat, they’re still dangerous.
