Lebrecht Music & Arts has nearly 300 images from a specialist collection based on the tragic sinking of the  Titanic . After setting sail for New York City on 10 April 1912 with 2,223 people on board, the ship hit an iceberg four days into the crossing, at 11:40 pm on 14 April 1912, and sank at 2:20 am on the morning of 15 April. It was the world’s largest passenger ship, owned by White Star Line and constructed at the Harland and Wolff shipyards in Belfast, Ireland and the impact of this disaster reverberated around the world.
