Titanic; 100 years later

It's been 100 years since the tragic loss of the RMS Titanic and the death of 1, 514 people. As a result of Titanic's sinking the shipping community developed the Safety of Life at Sea Convention, the U.S. Coast Guard helped creat the International Ice Patrol, and the Amver system was developed.

Instead of discussing what happened, how the crew reacted, the hubris of the ship builders or owners, or the myriad of other topics, we thought we would look back through the Amver archives. We wanted to know how many ships enrolled on April 15th through the years. We came up with 50 ships. We were able to look back 15 years. Here are the ships that enrolled in Amver on April 15th since 1996.
