A Grand Ship Embarks

On April 10, 1912, the RMS Titanic set sail from Southampton, England, bound for New York City. It was a sight to behold, the largest and most luxurious ocean liner ever built. Its decks were adorned with elegant staterooms, opulent dining rooms, and a grand staircase that became an iconic symbol of the ship.

Life on Board

Life on board the Titanic was a marvel of early 20th century technology. Passengers enjoyed the finest amenities of the day, including a swimming pool, gymnasium, Turkish baths, and a library. The ship's restaurants served gourmet cuisine and the decks were perfect for strolling and socializing.

The Titanic's crew was equally impressive. Numbering over 900, they were responsible for the smooth operation of the ship and the safety of its passengers. From the captain to the stewards, each crew member played a vital role in the Titanic's voyage.

The Fateful Night
