| RMS Titanic departing Southampton on April 10, 1912 |
It's the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic tonight, and I cannot let it pass without a mention. At 11:40 pm ship's time (GMT -3), she hit an iceberg about 600 km south of Newfoundland. This is the moment, as I write (GMT -4), that it happened.
Apparently, this is a photograph taken by a steward on the Prinze Adelbert on
the morning of April 15, 1912 of the actual iceberg that Titanic struck - there
was red paint on it from the ship's hull along the waterline.

It looks so astonishingly innocuous.
