Here's what happened on February 26, 1914:

• Launch of HMHS Britannic The HMHS Britannic, sister ship to the ill-fated RMS Titanic, was launched at the Harland & Wolff shipyard in Belfast, Northern Ireland. This Olympic-class ocean liner was initially designed as a passenger ship but was later converted to serve as a hospital ship during World War I.

This alliance reinforced Romania's complex diplomatic positioning in the pre-war European power dynamics.
• New York Museum of Science and Industry Incorporation The New York Museum of Science and Industry was officially incorporated, marking an important milestone in the city's cultural and educational landscape. This institution would go on to play a crucial role in promoting scientific education and technological understanding to the public.
