Question
In 2007, the Halifax grave of an “unknown child” who died during this event was identified by DNA testing as Sidney Leslie Goodwin. Lord Mersey chaired a British government inquiry into this event, which was criticized as a “washing of dirty linen” by Charles Lightoller. J. Bruce Ismay was vilified for surviving this event, in which Isidor Straus and John Jacob Astor perished. A band of musicians supposedly played the hymn “Nearer My God To Thee” during this event, whose survivors were rescued by the Carpathia. For 10 points, name this April 1912 disaster, which took place after the world’s largest ocean liner struck an iceberg on its maiden voyage. ■END■
