The Story of the Unsinkable Titanic

When she was launched on May 31, 1911, RMS Titanic was the largest movable object on Earth. A crowd of over 100,000 gathered just to watch this 882-foot, 46,000-ton leviathan slide down the slipway. The Titanic foundered four days later, on its maiden voyage, and has been an object of fascination and obsession for 100 years since.
