What did the RMS Titanic used to move?

The RMS Titanic served only as a passenger liner. The ship was built intended for use as a luxury oceanliner, for passenger use, only. It was the largest luxury liner, ever built at the time of her maiden voyage (first and last). RMS Titantic's sister ship, HMHS Britannic, was built and intended to serve as a transatlantic passenger liner. Shortly before the start of WWI, Britannic was put to use as a hospital ship. In November of 1916, she struck a mine off one of the Greek Islands, and sank with a loss of 30 lives, all crew members of the ship. RMS Titantic's older sister ship, RMS Olympic was also built as a Passenger Oceanliner. During the Olympic's lengthy time in service, she served extensively as a troopship during WWI, and later went on to serve as a transatlantic passenger liner. The RMS Titanic only moved passengers and their belongings, her sister ship HMHS Britannic, intended for the movement of passengers, served only as a hospital ship. Titantic's other sister ship, RMS Olympic served as a troopship, and passenger liner. As a troopship (and passenger liner), the Olympic moved military troops, and passengers. All 3 ships, only moved people, and did not serve as cargo liners.
