The keel of the Titanic was laid on March 31, 1909, at the Harland & Wolff shipyard in Northern Ireland. The steamship was equipped with the utmost elegance and luxury to serve 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 meters, a width of 28.19 meters, and a tonnage of 46,329 gross tons, it was the largest ship in the world in 1912. Captain Edward John Smith transferred from the sister ship Olympic specifically for the maiden voyage of the Titanic. 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. The ship struck an 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.
