Sunday marks the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. After leaving Southampton, England, on April 10, 1912, the ship struck an iceberg late in the night four days later and sunk shortly thereafter. Reports say that of the more than 2,200 passengers on board, only 705 survived. Jamie Dendy, head librarian for research and instruction in University Libraries, talks about the significance of the coverage and the library’s materials from 1912.
