The keel of the Titanic was laid on 31 March 1909 at the Harland & Wolff shipyard in Northern Ireland. The steamer was outfitted with the highest level of elegance and luxury to be used in the prestigious transatlantic liner service of the White Star Line. Two years later, on 31.05.1911, 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 switched from the sister ship Olympic to the Titanic especially for the maiden voyage. On Wednesday, 10.04.1912, she set off from Southampton. The stops in Cherbourg (France) and Queenstown (Ireland) were on the way to New York (USA). The crossing went smoothly until the bell of the lookout rang on Sunday (14.04.1912) at around 11:40 p.m. (board time) due to numerous iceberg warnings. The ship brushes the iceberg on the starboard side and sinks after two hours and forty minutes in the icy waters of the Atlantic. Only 712 people survived the disaster.
