The Royal Mail Ship Titanic was constructed around 1911. She cost about $7.3 million to create and was considered the greatest ship of the time. The Titanic was designed to remain afloat with any two or three compartments flooded and to able endure a collision at the joint of two compartments in that case. The Titanic cruise ship was regarded to be unsinkable, to be herself a lifeboat.

The Titanic cruise liner was 269 meters long, 28 meters wide, and a gross tonnage of 45,000 tons. The Titanic could hold 3,500 passengers and crew members but carried life boats for just over 1,000. Titanic boasted a squash court, swimming pool, and a gymnasium with a mechanical horse.

The Titanic carried 20 lifeboats, the requirements of The British Board of regulations. However, these standards proved far insufficient when at 11:40 p.m, on the 14th April 1912, the greatest disaster of maritime history occurred: the sinking of the RMS Titanic.
