Titanic Facts

There is a world of Titanic facts at your disposal. The Titanic is one of the most fascinating and enduring stories of all time. What is it which makes Titanic such a subject of fascination for so many people around the world? Perhaps it is the very nature of the story itself. The world’s largest ship, on its maiden voyage and carrying some of the world’s richest people has a freak accident on her maiden voyage with a catastrophic loss of life.


Loss of Life

Hundreds of lives were lost amongst the poorer passengers on the ship, many of them sailing to the new world to find better opportunities for themselves and their families. If the story of Titanic were produced as a work of fiction, people would have difficulty believing that such a widespread tragedy could happen.  Within that rope of broader story there are threads of smaller stories which weave together to produce a fascinating tale.
 

A Story of Tragedy

There are stories of heroism, cowardice, loyalty, leadership and tragedy. There are many reasons why people are drawn to the story of Titanic and want to find out more facts about how and why the Titanic was built, the pioneering engineering, the intricacies of her journey and the fatal errors which in hindsight seem so basic. Some people will be interested in facts on how Titanic was built, some will be more concerned with the stories of people who sailed on her.
Some people are fascinated by the discovery of the wreck and the artefacts which have been recovered. Whichever your particular interest in the Titanic, we want to put all these varying pieces of information into manageable categories of Titanic Facts for you and present the most interesting, the most up to date and in some cases, the most bizarre. Consider this as your “go to” site for Titanic facts, reference, explanation, exploration and trivia.

It is sad that most people died. My grandma was born a couple years after the Titanic sunk. I wish all of the people have survived. I am in third grade.

It is as if time has stood still. My heart is with all those people who were on that ship that night, the ones who went down with her and the ones who survived. There should not have been such a disparity between the rich and the poor. I salute the selfless heroes of that awful night so long ago.

That was interesting really but I also hate how those people lost their lives.

Hi I'm Parker. I'm in 6th grade in Greer SC and I'm learning about the R.M.S Titanic. I have been looking forward to this ever since my teacher talked about it - my room is filled with things about the Titanic and I'm just fascinated by the history of such a ship.
