100 years ago tonight, the Titanic sank after hitting an iceberg.
More than 1500 people (men, women and children) died as a result; most within minutes of hypothermia in icy water.
The English National Archives is offering a Titanic chat session each day from 2pm to 4pm (British Summer Time) on 17th, 18th, 19th April.
It's worth looking at their Titanic exhibition where there is a free search, too;
at their Titanic Image Showcase of related images
and listening to a 37 minute podcast about the Titanic.
The Library and Archives Canada have a Titanic image gallery on Flickr.
More info on Wikipedia's Titanic article as well as many other sites.
