It’s Trivia Tuesday! In recognition of the 114th anniversary of the Sinking of the RMS Titanic, this week’s question is:
What was the ocean temperature on April 14, 1912?
A. 28°F
B. 39°F
C. 44°F
D. 48°F
Answer: A. 28°F
Fun fact: Saltwater freezes at a lower temperature than freshwater, which means the ocean can remain liquid even in the upper 20s!
Why so cold? The ship was sailing through the frigid Labrador Current, a southward-moving current that carries icy water from Arctic regions into the North Atlantic.
