The Titanic was completely outfitted by Sunday, March 31, 1912. The hull had been launched on Wednesday, May 31, 1911.
Thousands. Their were planners, builders, and overseers. Quote FROM: http://www.titanic-facts.com/titanic-construction.html "It took 3 years for building of the Titanic to be completed and in the end it cost $7.5 million dollars for the ship to be finished. More than 3000 men were employed in building the Titanic during that time span. In the months, and even years, leading up to the maiden voyage of the Titanic; the White Star Line published numerous marketing materials claiming that the ship was 'designed to be unsinkable.'" " At the time, the construction methods used in the building of the Titanic were considered to be second to none. Titanic construction included sixteen compartments that were reported to be watertight. Builders of the Titanic had included steel doors that were supposed to have been capable of being shut in 25 seconds or less; thereby enclosing any water that might have seeped in to threaten the safety of the ship and her occupants. Of course, we now know from the photographs taken of the ship's wreckage, that in all likelihood many of the nearly 3 million rivets that were employed to hold the ship's hull plates together popped loose when the vessel struck a massive iceberg. Without the rivets to hold the plating together, they quickly buckled, allowing water to seep into the ship. New theories have suggested that the iron used in the Titanic construction may have been less than the best quality, containing high degrees of sulfur, which made the hull plates particularly susceptible to the icy cold waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Builders of the Titanic can hardly be blamed for the iron's contribution to the tragic sinking, however. The iron used in the construction of the Titanic was standard for the first part of the 20th century. While the high sulfur content in the iron may have surely played a role in the tragic history of the Titanic, it was not the sole reason the ship sank."
Yes, Bruce J. Ismay did survive the titanic. He managed to hop into"Collapsible C" as it was being lowered. After the Titanic sinking, hewas called a "Coward" because he took a spot on the lifeboat(He took some one else' life by stealing that seat)
there are now a number of buildings which are higher than the Eiffel tower. (list and dates on link)
No. The White Star Line made a line of ships. The Titanic, The Britannic, and the Olympic. The Titanic and the Britannic sank but the Olympic is in storage. The Olympic did not sink it was called old reliable and served for 25 yrs before being scrapped. It was the most successful of its two other sister ships, the Titanic and Britannic.
Titanic had a sister ship built similar but a little different to her and it was called RMS Britannica. Titanic had a TRUE sister ship called RMS Olympic. Olympic was already being built at the same time Titanic was getting built at Harland and Wolf shipyard. Olympic also being built at the Harland and Wolf shipyard in Belfast. Titanic cost $7,500,000 to build in 1912. After the Titanic disaster the White Star Line, builder of those ships, was bought out by the Cunard line because of financial reasons after the Titanic disaster and Cunard owns what you may know today is the Queen Mary. Oh and if you were wondering what R.M.S. stands for? It stands for Royal Mail Steamer.Olympic (older sister) Titanic (middle sister) then Britannic (which later was switched with the name Gigantic) the baby sister.
the titanic Belfast building is being built because it was the 100th anniversary of titanic sinking and all those people that died.
Titanic began being built in May 1911 and was finished in February 1912.
It was finished in May of 1911. The exact day is unknown.
Titanic was launched from her gantry in Belfast. The fitting-out was finished in that city and from there she went to her first port-of-call which was Southampton England.
The bow had been completely filled with water when Titanic sank. The stern, being lifted up, had none.
Titanic was as big as the London Bridge. When she rose during the sinking, she was as big as the Empire state building. Imagine being on a ship big as London bridge. Imagine how scary it would be being on a sinking ship as big as the Empire state building.
they finished it in 1930 they started in 1929 it was the tallest building for 11 months after being topped out by the empire state building
From 1908-1909, over 15,000 Irish shipyard workers built the ship. Each worker was paid about $10 a week. The Titanic was known as the "unsinkable ship". It ended officially in the early morning hours of April 15, 1912, as the largest moving object ever made by man, Pradip Mishra(B-Tech) GEIT Dehradun(INDIA)
Construction of RMS Titanic began being built on 31 March, 1909. While it was finally finished being built on March 31, 1912.
it took 7 months to make the movie Titanic
Mission Dolores was finished being built in 1776
