The Titanic was a British registered four funnelled ocean liner built for the transatlantic passenger and mail service between Southampton and New York.
 
Constructed at the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast, Northern Ireland she was, at the time of her maiden voyage, the largest vessel afloat.
 
On April 10th 1912 the Titanic set sail from Southampton with 2,200+ passengers and crew, four days later the Titanic collided with an iceberg and sank. In the morning of the April 15th 1912, more than 1500 people died and merely 700 survived.
 
It is 96 years and 3 days since Titanic was lost.
