What names were given to the sister ships of RMS Titanic?
Answer: Olympic and Britannic
The Royal Mail Steamer Olympic and the Royal Mail Steamer Britannic were both built in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Olympic was the first sister to be launched, ahead of Titanic, Britannic (formerly designated Gigantic) was launched much later though from the same slipway. RMS Britannic was commissioned by the British Government for use as a hospital ship, during which time the name was changed to match its duty: HMHS Britannic. It sank shortly after either hitting a mine or being torpedoed (the reason is still uncertain but the former is considered most likely). RMS Olympic was also utilised in war service, however it ended its long life in 1935 at the breakers yard due to old age. However during its service it sank a German U-Boat by ramming it, also sank many ships and damaged others (accidentally, the most famous of which was the Nantucket Lightship.

How many years did it take to built the Titanic?
From keel to sailing, the Titanic took almost exactly 3 years to construct.
Building the hull took 26 months, from March 31, 1909 to May 31, 1911. Outfitting took another 10 months, so that sea trials were conducted on April 2, 1912, just 8 days before the start of its maiden voyage on April 10, 1912.
Just over 2 years- her keel was laid down on March 31st 1909, and she was launched on the last day of May 1911. It took a further year to fit her out and carry out her sea-trials before she was fully completed.
She sank just a fortnight later.
The first piece of the keel was laid on March 31st, 1909 and she was put to sea on April 10th, 1912.
The first piece of steel was laid on March 31st, 1909, and she was still being painted and completed on sailing day, April 19th, 1912.
