RMS Titanic
node
Olympic-class transatlantic liner of the White Star Line, yard number 401 at Harland and Wolff, Belfast. Registered at Liverpool at 46,328 gross register tons and about 269.1 m (882 ft 9 in) overall, she was among the largest moving objects then built. Her hull was divided into sixteen watertight compartments, but the transverse bulkheads did not reach high enough to contain flooding once more than four were open to the sea. She sank on her maiden voyage on 15 April 1912 after striking an iceberg; roughly 2,200 people were aboard and about 1,500 died, the exact totals differing between the British and American inquiries.
A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.
