Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A cruise ship retracing the route of the Titanic has been delayed at sea because of a medical emergency on board.
The Titanic Memorial Cruise set sail from southern England on Sunday and made a brief stop in the Irish town of Cobh on Monday before continuing on its journey to the North Atlantic site where the Titanic hit an iceberg and sank 100 years ago.
But the captain of the memorial vessel, MS Balmoral, announced that the journey was being interrupted at sea because a passenger has to be airlifted to a hospital.
The Balmoral's cruise was scheduled to last 12 nights.
The ship, which is carrying 1,309 passengers — including relatives of some of the more than 1,500 Titanic passengers who died — seeks to recreate the Titanic experience, minus the disaster.
