The RMS Titanic
The RMS Titanic is one of the world's most iconic ships, partly because she was launched as the World's largest and most luxurious ocean liner, but mainly because only a few days after she set out on her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York on 10th April 1912, she struck an iceberg and sank (on April 15th) with the loss of 1,517 lives.
Titanic (1912) was built for White Star Lines as one of a set of three "Olympic-Class" sister-ships, the others being the RMS Olympic (1911-1935) and the HMHS Britannic (1914-16). The third ship was originally intended to be named Gigantic, but this was presumably felt to be too similar to the name of its ill-fated sister-ship. The Olympic was completed first, with the Titanic and Britannic both benefitting from further modifications to the original design. The Brittanic never got to be a luxury liner, as it was pressed into service as a hospital ship with the outbreak of WW2, and was sunk by a mine.
