The R.M.S. Titanic was a very fast cruise liner for its day, with a cruising speed of 21 kn (39 km/h; 24 mph) and a top speed of 24 kn (44 km/h; 28 mph). This speed still rivals today's average cruise ship speeds. She was well on her way to setting a new trans-Atlantic crossing record when she struck an iceberg and sunk.
The Queen Mary 2, since today's cruise ships are getting bigger and bigger.
Yes. Titanic is about 800 feet long and Queen MAry 2 is about 1000
Yes, Titanic could manage around 23 knots, while Queen Mary 2 can do around 30.
No. The RMS Queen Mary 2 is some 300 feet longer, and the top deck is as high as the top of the RMS Titanic's funnels.
Yes, the Titanic was about 46,000 tons, while the Queen Elizabeth was close to 91,000 tons.
Queen Mary...see link below
it is Titanic

Titanic, compairing a blue whale to most cruise ships is like comparing the size of a motorcycle to a school bus.
Emma Mærsk is with it's 400 metres more than 140 metres longer than Titanic that was circa 260 metres long.
Titanic was heavier than any other ship of the time, thus making it the largest ship in the world. It had a NEARLY identical sister ship called the Olympic, which was the same size, but several tons lighter. Therefore, Titanic was the biggest ship in the world, because it was heavier than any other ship.
The Exxon Valdez (now Dong Fang Ocean) is larger than the Titanic. The Valdez has a length of 987.5 ft, a beam of 166.24 ft, and a draft of 64.63 ft. Contrast that with the Titanic with a length of 882.75 ft., a beam of 92 ft., and a draft of 34.6 ft.
Titanic was not built bigger than Olympic. She enclosed her promenade deck, claiming more air and creating a little more gross tonnage, resulting in a larger classification, but she was the same size.
During The Titanic's time it was the biggest ship around, closely followed by its sister ship "The Olympic"
No but people have made bigger ships than the titanic since then
The Titanic, (after that men have not yet invented a bigger ship than that.)
A bigger ship means that it can carry lots more passengers who pay for their tickets, and make the ship owners rich.

There is now, but in the Titanic's time (1912) there was not. The Titanic was even bigger than all of the buildings in its time!
