Historical Significance

RMS Titanic was the largest and most luxurious ocean liner of her time, built by Harland and Wolff in Belfast for the White Star Line. Measuring 882 feet in length and displacing 46,328 gross tons, the Titanic was considered 'unsinkable' due to her advanced safety features. On her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York, the ship struck an iceberg at 11:40 PM on April 14, 1912, and sank in the early hours of April 15, 1912, resulting in the loss of over 1,500 lives and becoming one of history's most tragic maritime disasters.

About RMS Titanic

The RMS Titanic was powered by two reciprocating four-cylinder, triple-expansion steam engines and one low-pressure Parsons turbine, driving three propellers. The ship could carry 2,435 passengers and 892 crew members. Titanic featured unprecedented luxury for first-class passengers, including a swimming pool, Turkish bath, gymnasium, squash court, and the famous grand staircase. The ship's design incorporated the latest technology, including electric elevators, a Marconi wireless telegraph system, and watertight compartments controlled by electric doors.

The Tragic Maiden Voyage

Titanic departed Southampton on April 10, 1912, with stops in Cherbourg, France, and Queenstown (now Cobh), Ireland. The ship carried some of the wealthiest people in the world, as well as hundreds of emigrants seeking a new life in America. Despite receiving ice warnings, the ship maintained near-maximum speed through an ice field. The collision with the iceberg opened the ship's hull to the sea, flooding six of the sixteen compartments. The inadequate number of lifeboats (only enough for 1,178 of the 2,224 people aboard) contributed to the high loss of life.
