In my mind, the most chilling photo of the lot (pun intended). This is believed to be the iceberg that sank the Titanic on April 14-15, 1912. The photograph was taken from the deck of the Western Union Cable Ship, Mackay Bennett, commanded by Captain DeCarteret. The Mackay Bennett was one of the first ships to reach the scene of the Titanic disaster. According to Captain DeCarteret, this was the only berg at the scene of the sinking when he arrived. It was assumed, therefore, that it was responsible for the sea tragedy. The glancing collision with the iceberg caused Titanic's hull plates to buckle inward in a number of locations on her starboard side and opened five of her sixteen watertight compartments to the sea. Over the next two and a half hours, the ship gradually filled with water and sank. (United States Coast Guard)
Take a look at some great photographs surrounding the Titanic legacy. The great vessel went down this day one hundred years ago.
About ninety minutes until she slips below the surface forever. Still mesmerizing after all these years. I believe it's because 1, 517 people were lost when she sank.
