Inside the remaining mysteries surrounding the Titanic - from what happened to the passengers to whether an iceberg really caused the tragedy

On April 15, 1912, the most famous ship in history sank to the bottom of the Atlantic, after hitting an iceberg just four days into its maiden voyage from Southampton to New York.

The now famous tragedy resulted in the deaths of more than 1,500 people, including children, and the remains of the boat now lie on the seafloor about 350 nautical miles off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada.

As years passed, the RMS Titanic became the focus of endless films, documentaries, and news reports.

Despite this, 112 years have gone by and today on the ships anniversary, there are still a myriad of unanswered questions surrounding how tragedy unfolded for the boat that was famously dubbed 'unsinkable'.
