I can’t be the only idiot who didn’t realize the Titanic went down that close to Maine/Newfoundland. I’m 38 years old and never once even thought about where they actually sank.
Around the same age and this was my main takeaway from all this as well. One of my parents was watching the BBC with their coverage of it and I saw the map yesterday and was like wow, was it really that close? What was I doing in school?

Yes, Earth do not be flat after all.
Me too, and I did look up “Iceberg Alley” way back when.
It extends in the east here: Grand Banks of Newfoundland
Look them up on Wikipedia if you’re interested, I had to.
I thought it was more in the centre of the Atlantic. Poor bastards almost made it.
Yeah I felt a little dumb seeing that. I swear I must have known that at some point. Won’t forget it this time though :S
