TITANIC

 

It took just over three years to build and fit out the RMS Titanic, and it took the ship less than three hours to sink beneath the North Atlantic Ocean on April 14-15, 1912. Well before, the White Star Line's "unsinkable" ship set sail on its first and only voyage and launched countless stories, however, high stakes and grand plans went into its design and construction.The Titanic was built by Harland and Wolff, shipbuilders for White Star Line.

Designed to be the world's largest passenger steamship upon its completion, the Titanic was nearly 883 feet long and 104 feet high. Accommodations for first class passengers included palatial state rooms, some with their own promenades, along with a grand staircase, library, smoking room, squash court, sumptuous restaurants and other amenities. Second and Third Class accommodations, while far less posh, were still considered better than their counterparts on other ships.The Titanic was built in Belfast north Ireland. 

Of Harland & Wolff's 15,000 workers, around 3,000 labored on the Titanic. Records show injuries to nearly 250 workers, with two workers dying in construction accidents in the shipyard and six more dying on board ship during building and fitting.

The Titanic was carrying 2,223 passengers on board when it sank, and out of those 1,517 died. - See more at: http://www.titanicuniverse.com/how-many-people-died-on-the-titanic/1223#sthash.Yj8qqKbr.dpuf

The Titanic was carrying 2,223 passengers on board when it sank, and out of those 1,517 died. The guests were split into first, second, and third class, and the higher classes had an advantage when it came to boarding lifeboats and being closer to the top of the deck where the lifeboats were being deployed. There was also a locked gate that separated second and third class sections which inhibited the escape of many third class individuals. - See more at: http://www.titanicuniverse.com/how-many-people-died-on-the-titanic/1223#sthash.Yj8qqKbr.dpuf
