The keel of the Titanic was laid on 31 March 1909 at the Harland & Wolff shipyard in Northern Ireland. The steamship was equipped with the highest level of elegance and luxury for use on the prestigious transatlantic liner service of the White Star Line. Two years later, on 31 May 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, she was the largest ship in the world in 1912. Captain Edward John Smith transferred from her sister ship Olympic to the Titanic especially for the maiden voyage. On Wednesday, 10 April 1912, she departed Southampton. Stops in Cherbourg (France) and Queenstown (Ireland) were on the way to New York (USA). The crossing went smoothly until the lookout bell rang on Sunday (14.04.1912) around 23:40 (boarding time) due to several 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.
