Funnels Harland Ill Fated Infamous Shipyard Steamer Titanic Wolff
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the majestic RMS Titanic, the largest ship in the world at the time of its maiden voyage, as it proudly sails the open sea under the White Star Line flag. Built between 1909 and 1911 at the esteemed Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast, Northern Ireland, the Titanic was a testament to engineering prowess and luxury. With her sleek stem and distinctive funnels, she exuded an air of elegance and sophistication. Sadly, the Titanic's story is not one of triumph, but rather one of tragedy. On April 14, 1912, the ill-fated vessel struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic Ocean, leading to a catastrophic sinking. The infamous disaster claimed the lives of over 1,500 passengers and crew members, making it one of the most significant maritime disasters in history. Despite the tragic outcome, the RMS Titanic remains a fascinating subject of historical study and popular culture. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the ship's brief but memorable existence, and the enduring allure of the sea and the vessels that ply its waters.
