The story of the Titanic is something that will be remembered forever. A gigantic ship sailing from Southampton, England to New York, United States of America hit an iceberg in the North Atlantic, broke into two, and sank. This supposedly unsinkable ship had the most advanced technology available in its time. Its sections were held together by three million rivets, and it had twenty-nine giant boilers to power up its main steam engines. The interior design was superb and the facilities were luxurious. Its hull was also the world’s largest movable manmade object during the first half of the 20th century. It was constructed at the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast, Ireland. Titanic was indeed the most extravagant ship ever made in its time. Nonetheless, despite all its great features, the Titanic was still not able to avoid its catastrophic fate. Today, exhibits and pictures of the Titanic remind people about the once magnificent ship.
