no it was not. it was the empress of Ireland that happened around the same time as the titanic.

Actually in terms of total tonnage (ship and cargo) the largest shipwreck in history was the Kowloon Bridge which sank with a full load of iron ore and oil.

In terms of loss of life it was the Wilhelm Gustloff. It is estimated that the heavily overloaded vessel took 9400 people with her to the bottom when she was torpedoed in 1945.

In terms of physical size of the vessel itself, it was the Seawise Giant which was sunk (albeit briefly, having been salvaged and repaired) during the Iran-Iraq War. It was (at the time) the world's largest ship, displacing more than half a million tons.
