History Before Sinking

The Titanic was a important ship of its time and it still is. In 1912 the Titanic was the biggest ship around with the size of 882.5 feet long. It was a big lost in April 14, 1912 when the Titanic hit a iceberg. The next day at 2:20 a.m., only about three hours later the Titanic sank.
At a party in London the idea of the Titanic came up in 1907. In 1909 the Titanic’s blueprints were set up. The company that work on the ship was called Harland & Wolff. The owner of the company was William Pirrie. To build the ship in took workers to work nine hours a day and they had to work six days a week to make the hull alone. When the hull was being made it took more than 1,000 steel plates that were one-inch thick. To hold all the plates together in took more than three million rivets for the whole ship. On May 31, 1911 the ship was ready to be put in the water for the interior to be built.

‘Titanic slipped gracefully into the River Lagan launched on twenty-two tons of tallow, train oil, and soap, and was towed to the fitting out basin. It was now time for the three thousand carpenters, engineers, electricians, plumbers, painters, master mechanics, and interior designers to fit the Titanic with the latest in marine technology and the most sumptuous fixtures and furniture. Finally, on April 2, 1912 she was ready. Certified seaworthy, Harland & Wolff handed her over to the White Star Line and the Royal Mail Triple-Screw Steamer Titanic departed for her place in history. ‘
