The Titanic was built by the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast, Ireland. The ship was designed by Thomas Andrews and William Pirrie, and it was constructed using the most advanced shipbuilding techniques of the time. The Titanic was over 880 feet long and weighed over 46,000 tons.

The Titanic was divided into sixteen watertight compartments. These compartments were designed to keep the ship afloat even if one or more of them were flooded. The ship also had a double bottom, which was designed to protect it from damage in the event of a collision.

The Maiden Voyage

The Titanic departed from Southampton, England, on April 10, 1912. The ship was bound for New York City, and it carried over 2,200 passengers and crew.

On the evening of April 14, 1912, the Titanic struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic Ocean. The iceberg caused a series of holes in the ship's hull, and the Titanic began to sink.

The crew of the Titanic attempted to evacuate the passengers and crew, but they were unable to save everyone. Over 1,500 people died in the sinking of the Titanic.
