Unsinkable

The Titanic was a wonder of its time, launched on March 31, 1911, approximately 100,000 people gathered at the Belfast dock to watch the grand Royal Mail Ship (RMS) Titanic, a ship publicized as “unsinkable.” This gigantic cruise ship, estimated over 882 feet long, equal to four city blocks, and 175 feet tall, weighed more than 46,000 tons. It was furnished with modern technology, including a refined electrical control panel, four elevators, and an innovative wireless communication system able to transmit Morse Code. Regardless of its luxury and engineering advancements, the Titanic’s first voyage would be its last.
