100 years of Titanic's sink,..and Osasuna?

It’s been 100 years since the “unsinkable” HMS Titanic – considered the most luxurious ocean liner ever built – hit an iceberg on 14 April 1912 and sank in just two hours and 40 minutes, causing the deaths of 1,514 passengers. A human disaster that caused worldwide shock and horror. It is also a story that remains strongly linked to the history of love thanks to James Cameron's film. The Titanic will long be remembered as one of the biggest losses alongside other major natural and manmade catastrophes such as the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake and more recently 9/11 ( 11th September 2001 ), Hurricane Katrina and last year’s Tohoku earthquake and tsunami. At the time of the disaster, the market – and media – was in the early stages of using wireless telegraphy to communicate with ships at sea. With the help of inventor Marconi set up signal stations from Cornwall to Canada allowing ships crossing the Atlantic to communicate with land. The signal station in Halifax, Nova Scotia was called Cape Race. It was first to hear the news that the ship was sinking. However, other stations subsequently issued conflicting reports and this resulted in plenty of confusing information in the days following. Even up to two days later some newspapers were still reporting that Titanic had not sunk and was instead being towed to Halifax or even continuing under its own steam. Considered a prestigious risk to insure, cover for the hull alone was £1million – around £95million in today’s money. Titanic, the ship built for millionaires, was a significant insurance loss from a marine cargo.
