The keel of the Titanic was laid on March 31, 1909, at the Harland & Wolff shipyard in Northern Ireland. The steamship was outfitted with the utmost elegance and luxury to be used in the prestigious transatlantic liner service of the White Star Line. Two years later, on May 31, 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, it was the largest ship in the world in 1912. Captain Edward John Smith specifically transferred from the sister ship Olympic to the Titanic for its maiden voyage. On Wednesday, April 10, 1912, it set sail from Southampton. The stops in Cherbourg (France) and Queenstown (Ireland) were on the way to New York (USA). The crossing went smoothly until Sunday, April 14, 1912, around 11:40 PM (ship's time), when the lookout's bell rang due to numerous iceberg warnings. The ship grazed the iceberg on the starboard side and sank after two hours and forty minutes in the icy waters of the Atlantic. Only 712 people survived the disaster.
