ABOUT THE TITANIC
Building the Titanic
When the Titanic was being built, the people were expecting a huge monstrosity of a ship. White Star Line's called their RMS Titanic "The Millionaire Special". This was their most impressive build, 882 feet long with 3 propellers. First class had it good, for the ship was luxurious for her time. People were so thrilled and felt lucky to go on this "unsinkable" ship! They would feel safer than ever. It was never thought that the 32 required lifeboats would be needed on board, so the company removed them to make more space on deck. They were only worried about what the eyes would be seeing.
