Comment
Souvenir coin from the Titanic Belfast museum. The RMS Titanic was built in Belfast by Harland and Wolff as one of the three Olympic class ocean liners for the White Star Line. On the eve of the 14th April 1912, she famously sank on her maiden voyage after striking an iceberg in the North Atlantic. The sinking claimed the lives of over 1,500 people.
