The RMS Titanic was built in Belfast Northern Ireland by the shipyard Messrs. Harland & Wolff. Construction of the Titanic began March 31st 1909 with the laying of her keel and would continue up until her maiden voyage. At the time of her maiden voyage the Titanic was the world's largest ocean liner. She was built with many safety features and was claimed to be unsinkable. On the afternoon of April 10th 1912 the Titanic departed Southampton England on her maiden voyage and headed to Cherbourg France followed by Queenstown Ireland before beginning her crossing of the North Atlantic Ocean towards her intended destination of New York in the United States. On the clear moonless night of April 14th at 11:40 p.m. the Titanic struck an iceberg and began sinking by the head. By 2:00 a.m. most of the Titanic's lifeboats were gone but many people were left on board the doomed ship. As the Titanic's final moments approached her bow plunged below the icy waters of the Atlantic her stern rose out of the water and the unsinkable ship broke in two. In the early morning hours of April 15th 1912 nearly 2 hours and 40 minutes after the allision with the iceberg the Titanic disappeared below the surface of the Atlantic Ocean . Her wreck remained lost until 1 September 1985 when her twisted and broken hull was discovered 12480 feet down. The Titanic carried 2208 passengers and crew that fateful night and claimed the lives of 1496 people when she sank. The Titanic became one of the worst maritime disasters in history and has become one of the most famous shipwrecks
