The RMS Titanic will go down in maritime history as not just the larges and most luxurious passenger ship afloat upon its launch in 1912, but also as the most infamous, due to its now legendary maiden voyage. Despite warnings given to it by other ships, the Titanic steamed into the side of an iceberg on the night of April 14th, 1912. This tore a large hole in the side of the hull, overwhelming the ship's famed, water tight compartments. As water piured in, the order was given to abandon ship, with women and children being prioritized over men. Of the 2224 passengers on board, just 711 survived, with the vast majority being women and children of the first and second class. Today, more than 100 years after its maiden voyage and sinking, the legend of the Titanic continues to capture the imagination of the world. Built by Harland and Wolff in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and launched on May 31st, 1911, the Royal Mail Steam Ship Titanic was one of the three Olympic-class passenger ships built for the White Star Line. The largest, most luxuriant passenger ship ever built at the time, Titanic sailedon her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York. Captained by Edward J Smith, Titanic left Southampton setting course across the Atlantic for New York on April 10th, 1912.
