This month marks the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the cruise ship, Titanic, with the loss of 1,517 lives (April 15, 2012). Apart from the memory of a high-seas disaster, what remains forever steadfast is the law that surfaced from the casualty.

Everything disappeared under the surface except 14 lifeboats.
