Requires hundreds of hours to build from scratch by masterartisansHistory of"TITANIC":TheRoyal Mail Ship Titanic was the last grand dream of the Gilded Age. It wasdesigned to be the greatest achievement of an era of prosperity, confidence andpropriety. Although no one knew it, the world was about to change drastically.Radio had been invented in 1901. The Wright Brothers' first successful flightwas in 1903. The old presumptions about class, morals, and gender-roles wereabout to be shattered. If the concept of Titanic was the climax of that age, then perhaps its sinking was the curtain that marked the end of the old drama, and the start of a new one.TheRoyal Mail Ship Titanic was constructed around 1911. She cost about $7.3million to create and was considered the greatest ship of the time. The Titanicwas designed to remain afloat with any two or three compartments flooded and toable endure a collision at the joint of two compartments in that case. TheTitanic cruise ship was regarded to be unsinkable, to be herself a lifeboat.TheTitanic cruise liner was 269 meters long, 28 meters wide, and a gross tonnageof 45, 000 tons. The Titanic could hold 3, 500 passengers and crew members butcarried life boats for just over 1, 000. Titanic boasted a squash court, swimming pool, and a gymnasium with a mechanical horse.TheTitanic carried 20 lifeboats, the requirements of The British Board ofregulations. However, these standards proved far insufficient when at 11:40p.m, on the 14th April 1912, the greatest disaster of maritime historyoccurred: the sinking of the RMS Titanic.
