Titanic scholars contend that the demise of the unsinkable ship left more behind than a memory of April 15, 1912, as an important point in history. Through books, films, stories, and songs, the archetypal shipwreck has endured as a metaphor for the perils of mankind''s hubris and the fallibility of technology.
