Today’s history: The first picture of the sunken Titanic was revealed to the world, 109 years ago at midnight, the graveyard of 1500 people was built

10 April 1912. Titanic set out on its first and last voyage from Britain’s Southampton port. It was said about the Titanic that this ship could never sink. At that time the Titanic was the largest steam-powered ship in the world. Taking a convoy of about 2200 people with it, this ship left for New York.

The journey for the first three days was great. This huge ship was moving towards its destination, ripping the waves of the sea, but on the midnight of April 14, it collided with an ice cliff in the North Atlantic Ocean. This never-sinking ship sank into the depths of the ocean and more than 1500 people died.

Titanic sank, but no trace of its wreckage was found in the sea. Different teams continued to search for the wreckage of the Titanic. A US team was also searching for him through submarine. The team was headed by- Dr. Robert Ballard.

After 73 years on September 1, this submarine finally found the wreck of Titanic. On this day in 1985, the first picture of its debris came in front of the world. Titanic was lying 13 thousand feet below the sea and broke into two pieces.

In 1997, a film with the same name was made on Titanic, which was a super hit. The Titanic was built in the early 20th century by the English shipbuilding company White Star Line. The work on its construction started in 1909 and was completed in 1912. It was sea tested on 2 April 1912. It set out on its first journey on 10 April 1912.

Like Facebook, the story of Google also starts from the university campus. Larry Page reached Stanford University in 1995. Larry got the responsibility of showing the environment around the university to Sergey Brin. The jugalbandi of these two gave Google to the world.

In 1998, Google’s search page looked like this. If you search “Google in 1998” on Google, you will see this page.

The two thought of listing the page under the name googol, but due to a spelling mistake, the domain was registered under the name Google. Thus Google Inc. was formally launched on 4 September 1998.

In the beginning, both decided to sell Google for 1 million dollars. Both of them reached Yahoo with their deal, the famous surge engine of that time. Yahoo declined the deal. After 4 years, Yahoo itself came up with an offer to buy Google for $3 billion.
