1912年4月15日鐵達尼號撞冰山沈沒: 無名海難兒童 / Sinking of Titanic by Iceberg Apr 15, 1912: The Unknown Child

鐵達尼號(英語:RMS Titanic)是一艘奧林匹克級郵輪,於1912年4月處女航時撞上冰山後沉沒。鐵達尼號是同級的3艘超級郵輪中的第2艘,與姐妹船奧林匹克號和不列顛號一度為白星航運公司(White Star Line)的乘客們提供快速且舒適的跨大西洋旅行。鐵達尼號由位於愛爾蘭島貝爾法斯特的哈蘭德與沃爾夫(Harland and Wolff)造船廠興建,是當時最大的客運輪船。在她的處女航中,鐵達尼號從英國南安普敦出發,途經法國瑟堡-奧克特維爾以及愛爾蘭昆士敦,計劃中的目的地為美國紐約。因為人為錯誤,於1912年4月14日船上時間夜裡11點40分,鐵達尼號撞上冰山;2小時40分鐘後,即4月15日凌晨2點20分,船裂成兩半後沉入大西洋。鐵達尼號海難為和平時期死傷人數最慘重的海難之一,同時也是最廣為人知的海上事故之一。

Sidney Leslie Goodwin (9 September 1910 – 15 April 1912) was a 19-month-old English boy who died during the sinking of the RMS Titanic. His unidentified body was recovered after the sinking by the Mackay-Bennett, and for decades referred to as the unknown child; the body was identified as that of Goodwin in 2007. He is the only member of his family whose body has been recovered and subsequently identified.
