The Horrific Shipwreck That Wasn't the Titanic || SS Arctic

The SS Arctic, the fastest passenger liner of its time, set out to cross the Atlantic in 1854. Going only 50 miles from Newfoundland, they carelessly continued through the fog with no radio contact, sonar, or any other form of identifying objects, equipped only with Morse code. A smaller ship, the SS Vesta, was passing through the same path as the Arctic and crashed into its side. It was soon clear that the damage that seemed minor in the Arctic was far worse. What happened later went down in history as the most shameful sinking.
