The Titanic was an Olympic-class cruise ship owned by the British White Star Line. It had a displacement of 46,000 tons. Construction began at the Harland and Wolff shipyard on March 31, 1909, it was launched on May 31, 1911, and its sea trials were completed on April 2, 1912.

The Titanic was the world's largest passenger ship with the most luxurious interior facilities at the time, and was known as "unsinkable". Unfortunately, however, on its maiden voyage, the Titanic suffered misfortune - it set out from Southampton, England, to New York, the United States. At around 23:40 on April 14, 1912, the Titanic collided with an iceberg, causing the starboard bow to the middle of the ship to break, and five watertight compartments to be flooded. At around 2:20 in the morning on April 15, the Titanic's hull broke into two parts and sank to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean at 3,700 meters. Among the 2,224 crew members and passengers, 1,517 people died, of which only 333 bodies of the victims were recovered. The sinking of the Titanic was the most serious maritime disaster in peacetime. Its wreckage was not rediscovered until 1985 and is protected by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.
