TITANIC - Titanic was built in Belfast Ireland and was the second of a trio of superliners intended to dominate the transatlantic travel business and allow White Star lines to compete with Cunard lines. At the time, she was the largest and most luxious passenger steamship in the world. Her older sister was RMS Olympic . After Titanic's sinking, her younger sister HMS Britannic was built.

During Titanic's maiden voyage (from Southampton to New York ), she struck an iceberg at 11:40 PM (ship's time) on Sunday evening April 14 , 1912 , and sank two hours and forty minutes later at 2:20 AM Monday morning. Approximately 1,523 people perished in the accident, (according to the US Senate investigation), ranking it as one of the worst peacetime maritime disasters in history and by far the most famous. Titanic 's design used some of the most advanced technology available at the time and the ship was popularly believed to be "unsinkable". It was a great shock that, despite the advanced technology and experienced crew, Titanic sank with a great loss of life.

The media frenzy about Titanic 's famous victims and the legends of what happened on board the ship resulted in changes to maritime law and the discovery of the wreck in 1985 has made Titanic persistently famous in the years since.

THIS IS NOT A TOY AND SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY FROM CHILDREN
