Retrieved 17 August 2019.The White Star Line faced an increasing challenge from its main rivals, Cunard—which had recently launched Lusitania and Mauretania, the fastest passenger ships then in service—and the German lines Hamburg America and Norddeutscher Lloyd. Ismay preferred to compete on size rather than speed and proposed to commission a new class of liners that would be larger than anything that had gone before, as well as being the last word in comfort and luxury. [7] The White Star Line sought an upgrade of its fleet primarily to respond to the introduction of the Cunard giants but also to considerably strengthen its position on the Southampton–Cherbourg–New York service that had been inaugurated in 1907. The new ships would have sufficient speed to maintain a weekly service with only three ships instead of the original four. Thus, the Olympic and Titanic would replace RMS Teutonic of 1889, RMS Majestic of 1890 as well as RMS Adriatic of 1907. RMS Oceanic would remain on the route until the third new ship could be delivered. [ citation needed] Majestic resumed her old position on the White Star Line's New York service post the loss of Titanic '. [8] Despite over 1,600 ships being built by Harland and Wolff in Belfast Harbour, Queen's Island became renamed after its most famous ship, Titanic Quarter in 1995. Once a sensitive story, Titanic is now considered one of Northern Ireland's most revered and uniting symbols. [314] [ failed verification]

RMS Titanic was a British passenger liner, operated by the White Star Line, that sank in the North Atlantic Ocean on 15 April 1912 after striking an iceberg during her maiden voyage from Southampton, England, to New York City, United States. Of the estimated 2,224 passengers and crew aboard, more than 1,500 died, making it the deadliest sinking of a single ship up to that time. [a] It remains the deadliest peacetime sinking of an ocean liner or cruise ship. [4] The disaster drew public attention, spurred major changes in maritime safety regulations, and inspired many artistic works. They will have to get a cable down, and then it will be a race to get it belted on,” said Parry. “They will probably have to wrap it around the Titan as they have nothing to bolt it on to.”

Titanic also had a ship's cat, Jenny, who gave birth to a litter of kittens shortly before the ship's maiden voyage; all perished in the sinking. [114] Tsang, Amie (17 August 2018).

The American inquiry concluded that since those involved had followed standard practice, the disaster was an act of God. [215] The British inquiry concluded that Smith had followed long-standing practice that had not previously been shown to be unsafe, [216] noting that British ships alone had carried 3.5million passengers over the previous decade with the loss of just 10 lives, [217] and concluded that Smith had done "only that which other skilled men would have done in the same position". Lord Mersey did, however, find fault with the "extremely high speed (twenty-two knots) which was maintained" following numerous ice warnings, [218] noting that "what was a mistake in the case of the Titanic would without doubt be negligence in any similar case in the future".

Titanic 's electrical plant was capable of producing more power than an average city power station of the time. [39] Immediately aft of the turbine engine were four 400kW steam-driven electric generators, used to provide electrical power to the ship, plus two 30kW auxiliary generators for emergency use. [40] Their location in the stern of the ship meant they remained operational until the last few minutes before the ship sank. [41] Mat: There have been many stories about the Titanic so it was refreshing to have something different here, from a different perspective and presented as a factual narrative too. Can you give us an insight into how your project came to be and how you ended up working with Wide Eyed Editions/Quarto Kids? He expressed deep disappointment about the decision before the voyage but was presumably greatly relieved afterwards. [110]
