Incredible stories behind history's most tragic ships

Nine hundred years ago, William, the only legitimate son of King Henry I of England, was returning from France with a huge entourage. At Normandy, they boarded the White Ship, a state-of-the-art vessel on its maiden voyage. William requested wine be brought onboard and soon the whole party was roaring drunk. They set sail at midnight, hit a rock and sank quickly in the English Channel. The heir to the throne and the cream of English aristocracy were drowned – around 300 in all and it's been called the Titanic of its day.
