Building of the Titanic

• The titanic was meant to be a race ship and it
  was meant to 890 feet more than the other ship
  called the Canard and the Titanic would be more
  than the Canard by 100 feet. The Titanic set sail
  May 31, 1911

The Building of the Titanic 2

• The creators wasted no time transferring from
  idea to drawing board. Their staff began working
  to create a practicable design while the Harland
  Wolff shipyard in Belfast, Ireland began the
  conversion of three berths into two. The largest
  gantry in the world was about to be built for the
  Titanic.

The Lusitania was now expected to break speed
records and this frightened both of the men, and
further invoked them to use their alliance
against Cunard, and in the end win the Atlantic
route. The Titanic was born. The two made a
devious plan that was sure to beat Cunard. Using
both men's resources would build a two ships with
a third to follow that would be 150 the size of
Lusitania and would be 890 feet long. Almost 100
more feet than the Lusitania. The ships would be
so large that no shipyard on the face of the
Earth would have a dry dock, gantry, or crane
large enough to build them. These would be the
new ocean liners

Interesting facts

• One of the most interesting facts about the
  Titanic is that it was never christened. Harland
  and Wolff never christened any of their ships.
  They still don't to this day. It was a strict
  policy at Harland and Wolff not to christen their
  ships that was begun by the founders. This was
  very odd for a ship in that day and time. For
  some people, that was the reason the Titanic
  sank. At 1205 p.m. two rockets were fired into
  the air. Five minutes later a single rocket was
  shot bidding farewell to the Titanic.
