A giant English giant was first launched on 31 March 1911
- Registration agent - Liverpool, England.
- Registration date: 24 March 1912.
Official ship number: 131,428
Sank on its first flight from London to New York, colliding with an iceberg at 41 ° 44 'north and 49 ° 57' west with 2201 passengers aboard. Only 711 people survived while Gu died in 1490. Fortunately, the Titanic was not on board at that time its maximum load is 3,547 people.
The snowy mountain which hit the Titanic was very small compared to other glaciers. Titanic survivors estimated that it was about 100 feet above water. Which means that the snowy mountain extends 500 feet below the surface
I. Summary of construction dates, experiences and operation:
Its construction dates back to March 31, 1909
Date of launch and landing May 31, 1911
The date of completion of its equipment was 31 March 1912
II. Brief details of the start and end journey:
She left Southampton Port in the southern UK on April 10, 1912 - I went to the port of Schwerberg, France after about six hours of sailing arrived on the same day.
- I left Shoreberg port for Queenstown Port in Ireland the same day after I stayed for about two hours.

- I left Queenstown Port for Port of New York at 1:30 pm the same day.
- The date of drowning was at 20.2 pm on April 15, 1912.
- The date of detection and determination of the sinking was on the first of September 1985 and the existence and discovery of debris at a location about 2.5 nautical miles from the surface of the ocean and was through a joint research group of French and Americans.
- The total number of passengers and crew on the flight from Queenstown, Ireland, is 2238.

The ship is designed according to the theory of the ship that will not sink and applied the theories of buoyancy calculations and study and determine the distances between the cutoffs of the water, as well as the calculations of the so-called dipole and then calculate what we know as the subdivision, which gives the length of allowing the sperm, Of the vessel, its buoyancy will resist the total drowning of the ship. But God wanted this ship, despite all the arithmetic precautions and engineering designs, to sink it on its first journey
Weird Facts - There were no cats on the Titanic. It was a habit to put cats on board as a form of good fortune. And of course to control rodents.
- Titanic length is approximately equal to the length of the Empire State Building.
- The Titanic design includes three chimneys. The fourth chimney at the end of the ship was added only to make the Titanic look even more powerful. And then it was exploited as an air outlet.
- No one has ever claimed that the Titanic was unsinkable. Citation, unsinkable taken out of context. In 1911, the ship builders magazine published an article describing the construction of the Titanic. The article states that when the water-proof doors are closed, the vessel will become "practically unsinkable".
- Many travelers were not originally supposed to travel on the Titanic. Because of a strike, the quantities of coal were scarce. This shortcoming threatened to cancel the first Titanic flight, forcing the Naval White Line to cancel travel on the Oceanic and Adriatic ships and coal was diverted to the Titanic, of course with the passengers.
- Captain Smith was planning to retire after the first Titanic flight.
- Titanic whistle could be heard from 11 miles.
- Titanic carried 900 tons of luggage and cargo.
- Daily consumption of titanic from drinking water was 14,000 gallons.
Daily consumption of coal: 825 tons. - Titanic was designed to carry a total of 48 lifeboat.
- The Titanic carried 20 lifeboats, in order to make room for the sea to look better for passengers. It also carried 3,560 life jackets. Lester Deliverance made of canvas and cork.
- Twenty lifeboats that were kept on the surface of the Titanic, were originally more than recommended by the rules and regulations at the time, were intended to transport passengers between ships back and forth in the event of problems, no one expected the sinking of passenger ships so quickly, there was always Time to reach other ships and save most passengers before drowning.
- In 1898 (14 years before the Titanic tragedy), Morgan Robertson wrote a novel called Futility. This fictional story revolves around the collision of the largest ship ever built by an iceberg and sinking into the Atlantic on a cold April night. The name of the ship was Titan and I consider it at the beginning of the novel not to be drowned

- Third class: $ 30
Wow, such a nice information @shawki. Thanks.
Wow, can you imagine 10,350$ as a price in 1912! That would have been millions in today's currency. It's true that only the wealthiest people in the world would have been able to board the Titanic in first class cabins!
