Titanic, in spite of her short life, bequeathed upon the seafaring world an enduring legacy. Many safety regulations went into effect as a result of her sinking. Also, the mentality of preparedness changed as well; if such a ship could sink, so could any, and so the crews of other vessels were to become much better prepared and ships built to be even more difficult to sink. And so in the end, she has surely saved more lives than were lost in her demise.

I watched the movie and read some of my old books. What a fine lady she was. I'll always remember her in her glory, never as a wreck.
