The sinking of the 'unsinkable' RMS Titanic in 1912 was a preventable tragedy that revealed fatal gaps in maritime safety. The loss of over 1,500 lives spurred the international community into action, leading to the first Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) convention. This landmark treaty established global standards still in effect today, including mandatory lifeboat capacity for every person on board, continuous radio watch for distress signals, and the creation of an international ice patrol.
