Editing Titanic iceberg

The '''Titanic iceberg''' refers, literally, to the iceberg struck by the RMS ''Titanic'' on 14–15 April 1912—and, culturally, to that iceberg as a reusable symbol in education, memorial media, and internet humour.

==Maritime fact==
Contemporary inquiries established that ''Titanic'' collided with an iceberg in the North Atlantic; the disaster became the defining modern shipwreck narrative in popular culture.

==Meme and chart culture==
Because the public already associates "iceberg" with hidden danger beneath the waterline, the Titanic story reinforces the same metaphor that internet [[Iceberg chart|iceberg charts]] exploit. Joke charts occasionally label maritime or film-history tiers with Titanic references; more often the disaster simply supplies instinctive literacy for the tip-versus-bulk image ([[Tip of the iceberg]]).

This article covers the cultural crossover, not a conspiracy reframing of 1912 events.
