Considered the pinnacle of human achievement at the time, the RMS Titanic departed from London for New York on April 12, 1912. What was meant to be a 7-day journey ended abruptly and tragically when the luxurious ship struck an iceberg 640 km from land. Isidor and Ida Straus, the co-owners of the Macy’s department store in New York, died on board the RMS Titanic when it sunk on the night of April 15, 1912. Their love still inspires us, giving us a glimpse of the highest form of love – God’s love.
