The Not-So Unsinkable Ship The Royal Mail Ship Titanic was the second Olympic-class ship built by the White Star Line. Of her day she was the largest ship, the fastest and the most luxorious. She was build between the years of 1909 and 1911. She left Great Britain on her maiden voyage on April 10, 1912 under the command of Capt. Edward J. Smith. On the night of April 14, at 11:40 pm, the ship struck an iceberg. Unfortunatly, she did not have enough life boats for all her passengers and crew. She only had twenty boats, she would have needed fourty-eight. At 2:20 am on the morning of April 15, the ship broke in two and foundered. Of the 2220 people on her, only 705 were saved. The liner, Carpathia saved the ship's life boats and took the survivors to New York City. This page is dedicated to those who died onboard RMS Titanic on that cold April night in 1912. |
