The Titanic was a British passenger liner that sank in the North Atlantic Ocean on its maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City in April 1912. It was the largest ship afloat at the time and was considered virtually unsinkable due to its watertight compartments and advanced safety features. However, it struck an iceberg on its fourth night and sank within hours, resulting in the deaths of over 1,500 people due to insufficient lifeboats. The wreck of the Titanic remains on the ocean floor and has become one of the most famous ships in history.

5.  Titanic was equipped with
 Three engines - two reciprocating four-cylinder,
 Reciprocating Cylinder each 63 feet (19 m) long and weighing 720 tons
 Triple-expansion steam engines and
 One centrally placed low-pressure Parsons turbine
 The furnaces required over 600 tons of coal a day to be shovelled into
them by hand, requiring the services of 176 firemen working around
the clock.
 The engines were attached directly to long shafts which drove the
propellers.
 There were three, one for each engine; the outer (or wing) propellers
were the largest, each carrying three blades of manganese-bronze alloy
with a total diameter of 23.5 feet (7.2 m).
 The central propeller was somewhat smaller at 17 feet (5.2 m) in
diameter, and could be stopped but not reversed.

9.  On 14 April 1912, four days into the crossing and about
375 miles (600 km) south of Newfoundland, she hit an
iceberg at 11:40 pm
 The glancing collision caused Titanic's hull plates to
buckle inwards in a number of locations on her starboard
side and opened five of her sixteen watertight
compartments to the sea.

10.  Over the next two and a half hours, the ship gradually filled with
water and sank. Passengers and some crew members were
evacuated in lifeboats.
 A disproportionate number of men – over 90% of those in Second
Class – were left aboard due to a “women and children first
protocol” followed by the officers loading the lifeboats.
 Just before 2:20 am Titanic broke up and sank bow-first with over a
thousand people still on board.
 Those in the water died within minutes from hypothermia caused by
immersion in the freezing ocean.
 The 710 survivors were taken aboard from the lifeboats by the RMS
Carpathia a few hours later.

11.  She lacked enough lifeboats to accommodate all of
those aboard.
 Many of life boats were launched only partly filled.
