Some ships that was Drowned in ocean

The world is full of various marvels, both natural and man-made. Some of them are so amazing despite the fact that they were destroyed by humans. In this list we'll discover some ships whose demise can be the most tragic events in history! It's one of these exciting facts you should always remember:

Titanic

Titanic was a British ocean liner that sank during its maiden voyage on April 15, 1912. She was the largest ship to sink in peacetime and one of the ten greatest maritime disasters in history. The disaster resulted in more than 1,500 deaths and caused an estimated £28 million (US$45 million) worth of damage to the ship and its contents.

The ship left Southampton on 10 April 1912 for New York City, with only 14 lifeboats and a complement of approximately 2,200 passengers and crew. It was the most modern and technologically advanced vessel of her time, with sixteen electrically powered watertight compartments. In order to reduce the weight carried by her engines, she was equipped with a special air system that consisted of two electric motors placed outside each hull. There were also four diesel generators capable of providing electricity to power them in case of failure or when they ran out of fuel.

Titanic had two funnels (one forward and one aft), but only one set of boilers; therefore she could steam at about half speed while traveling under power alone (though it would take longer). Titanic's designers had decided against equipping their new ship with powerful enough reciprocating engines because they believed it would be cheaper to use electricity instead

RMS Lusitania

The RMS Lusitania was a British ocean liner that was sunk by a German submarine in 1915.

The ship had a long history of service and was one of the largest passenger ships afloat at the time. She was built by John Brown & Company in Clydebank, Scotland, and launched on 18 September 1907. She was initially named SS Carmania; her name was changed to Lusitania after she entered service. The ship had cost £1,075,000 to build and was licensed to carry 1,315 passengers.

On 7 May 1915, while travelling from Liverpool to New York City with 1,900 passengers and crew aboard, the German submarine U-20 torpedoed and sank the ship off the coast of southern Ireland at position 52 degrees 35 minutes north latitude, 16 degrees west longitude. She carried 896 people who were killed outright or drowned in their attempt to escape via lifeboats; an additional 1,195 people died later from injuries sustained during an intense three-day rescue operation conducted by British forces and German sailors aboard submarines that had been sent from Germany to retrieve survivors from what became known as "the greatest maritime disaster in history".

MV Doña Paz

MV Doña Paz was a passenger ship that sank in the Pacific Ocean on 25 October 1979. The ship's sinking was caused by a fire in one of the cargo holds and subsequent flooding from the ensuing scuttling of the vessel. At least 1,240 people died and another 1,000 were injured; this is one of the largest maritime disasters in history.

The ship was built for Japanese shipping company Nippon Kokan KK in Japan, and owned by Mitsubishi Corporation as MV Doña Paz for its route between Manila, Philippines and Tokyo, Japan. On October 24, 1979, while sailing from Manila to Tokyo with a load of 2,099 passengers and 603 crew members aboard (including 16 children), it caught fire after striking an undersea rock off Palawan Province in the Philippines at 3:15 am local time (0715 UTC). A distress rocket was fired but had no effect on the blaze; shortly afterward it began to sink rapidly into the ocean.

The captain ordered an evacuation through lifeboats only to discover that these had been damaged by fire or water leakage at some point before then. There were no lifeboats remaining to use so many people remained on board as they waited for rescue but only five survived out of more
