The Sinking of White Star Line’s RMS Republic
The White Star Line's RMS Republic, launched on February 26th, 1903, sank after she collided with the SS Florida in a fog bank off Nantucket on January 24th, 1909. The disaster was the first time Marconi wireless was used to transmit a distress signal. The rescue was a major success, with only 6 people dying in the initial collision. With hardly any casualties, the Republic taught the shipping industry that modern ocean liners were virtually immune to major disasters. This confidence would ultimately prove deadly for RMS Titanic only 3 years later.
