Description

The keel laying of the Titanic took place on 31.03.1909 at the Northern Irish shipyard Harland & Wolff. The steamer has been equipped with maximum elegance and luxury to be used in the prestigious White Star Line transatlantic service. Two years later, on 31.05.1911, the Titanic was launched. With a length of 269.04 m, a width of 28.19 m and a tonnage of 46,329 GRT, she was the largest ship in the world in 1912. Captain Edward John Smith changed from the sister ship Olympic to the Titanic especially for the maiden voyage. On Wednesday, April 10, 1912, she left Southampton. The stations Cherbourg (France) and Queenstown (Ireland) were on the way to New York (USA). The crossing went without a hitch until the bell of the lookout sounds at 23:40 (board time) on Sunday (14.04.1912) due to numerous iceberg warnings. The ship grazes the iceberg on the starboard side and sinks into the icy waters of the Atlantic Ocean after two hours and forty minutes. Only 712 people survived the disaster.
