Was the Titanic the largest ship afloat?
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.

How did the movie Titanic sink?
The Titanic struck and iceberg, which created loads of small punctures along the ship's hull along the first five watertight compartments. These compartments immediately began flooding and then overflowing into other compartments, and eventually, the water rose to the higher decks. Because the water was dragging down the front of the ship, the Titanic leaned bow-first into the water. Soon, the stern of the ship was pulled upwards so much that the strain put on the ship was beyond its threshold point, leading to the ship cracking between the third and fourth funnels. The bow sunk first, and seconds later, the stern followed with a plunge.

Did the Titanic and Olympic get switched?
No. Both ships were built alongside each other, with Olympic being completed first. However, they did replace Olympic's propeller shaft by taking the one off Titanic (stemming from a collision with the HMS Hawke). Later, Olympic lost a propeller blade, and it was again taken from Titanic. Both acquisitions delayed Titanic's maiden voyage until April 2012.

Why did they call it the unsinkable ship?
Titanic was claimed "unsinkable" because it was the best ship built at the time. It had watertight doors and if four compartments where flooded, it could still stay afloat. Now, some people have said that since Titanic was the best ship some people called it unsinkable and that spread the word around giving it the title "The Unsinkable ship". The white star line (The company who made titanic) did not claim it unsinkable, the passengers did.

Common misconception. Thomas Andrews was the Chief Naval Architect who built Titanic. However, he was not an official member of the vessel's crew. The job of a Ship's Carpenter involved not only being intimately familiar with the design of the ship, but also ensuring that she was properly outfitted with supplies such as coal, food, water, et cetera. In times of crisis, a ships carpenter is also tasked with advising the captain on the best way to save the vessel.
