Titanic was the biggest ship. bigger than it's sisters the Olympic and Britannic
No, it was the biggest ship for its time. At the time of her maiden voyage, SS Titanic was the largest ship in the world. Her sister ship SS Olympic was about the same length, but Titanic was heavier by about ten thousand gross tons. Some of this extra weight was from the enclosed screens on A deck, which are one of the main ways that you can tell the difference between the two. Since that time, there have been longer and heavier ships constructed, both liners and cargo vessels with some oil tankers being the largest ships today. There was also the Britannic in that class but she was sunk by a German U Boat when she was a hospital ship carrying injured troops to England during the Great War. Many ships now days are much larger. Air craft carriers are good examples.
