On the night of April 14th 1912, just 4 days after the Titanic had set off on its maiden voyage from the English port of Southampton, the ship struck an iceberg off the coast of south-east Canada and sank in less than three hours , with a loss of over 1,500 lives.

Wallace Hartley and his band members gallantly stayed on the deck, playing non stop music right to the very end in order to avoid panic among the many scared and bewildered passengers still onboard the sinking vessel.
