The builders at Harland and Wolff rushed to finish the Titanic in March of 1912 in order to prepare for the launch in April (Foster 14).
As the launch of the Titanic drew nearer, people became very excited (Wade 22). The ship had been publicized as unsinkable, therefore increasing the vast appeal of the great ship (Pence 40). It was said by several newspapers that the Titanic was named for the builders of the ship, as they were similar to the mythological characters the Titans in their strength. The builders had built a very strong ship, but in their attempt to make the Titanic the best ship to have ever sailed, they overlooked several safety features (Lord 16-19). .
There were so many amenities that structural safety features simply did not fit (Lord 23). The Titanic weighed one thousand more tons than her sister the Olympic (Wade 19). There were sixteen watertight compartments connected by electric doors on the Titanic. These compartments were to be used in the event of an emergency. On the B deck, there were twenty-eight staterooms and a grand dining saloon (Lord 18-23). The Titanic was acclaimed for electricity, engineering, radio, and refrigeration. In the end, the Titanic was nine hundred feet long, which is one sixth of a mile. She weighed 46,000 tons and moved at a speed of twenty-three plus knots (Wade 16-20).
The Titanic was moved to Belfast in early April of 1912 (Wade 23). After a few test trials, she was moved to Southampton, Ireland for her initial take-off on April 10, 1912 (Lord 33). The Titanic left Southampton at noon (Wade 25). People of all sorts came to view the launch of the unsinkable ship (Lord 33).
On the Titanic, there was a distinct difference between the classes traveling on the ship. There were approximately 2240 passengers on the ship (Foster 28-29). Of these 2240 people, only 337 of them were members of the first class, therefore only occupying forty six percent of the available first class accommodations.
