The Titanic, one of the biggest U.S. ships during 1911, was built between 190o and 1911. It was a luxury British steamship that could hold up to 2,435 passengers, and a crew of approximately 900 brought the capacity to more than  3,300 people. 

  The reason the Titanic is often referred to as ‘RMS Titanic’ is that the RMS stands for Royal Mail Ship. The ‘RMS Titanic’ was one of the world’s largest passenger ships, it measured around 882 feet and weighed about 4200 pounds. The Titanic’s engines were powered by pressurized steam from burning coal, and a low-pressure turbine for the center propeller with two three-blade wing propellers. The Titanic had 29 boilers, containing 159 furnaces that powered two reciprocating engines. The reciprocating engines were the largest engines that were built, nearly forty feet tall and nine feet in diameter. The boilers were massive, looming at two stories tall. The Titanic was built in a graving or dry dock. Thompson Dock was the largest and was designed to accommodate Titanic, it was a large enclosed dock with all the water taken out so the workers could easily move around the outside of the ship. The titanic was constructed of thousands of one-inch thick mild steel plates and two million steel and wrought iron rivets and equipped with the latest technology. The estimated cost of The Titanic is $7.5 million in 1912, but in today’s dollars, it would cost around $400 million to construct. It could go more than 26 miles per hour, it was originally designed for 64 lifeboats, but to prevent the cluttering of decks, the ship ended up carrying 20 on the Titanic’s maiden voyage. 

   In conclusion, it would be impossible to lift the Titanic from its inky grave nearly two and a half miles down. According to scientists, the RMS Titanic would vanish by 2030 due to bacteria that’s eating away the metal. So, learning the importance of the RMS Titanic will help you understand it more.
