THE RMS TITANIC:
The RMS Titanic ( English : Royal Mail Steamship Titanic " Steamship Titanic Royal Mail ") was a British ocean liner , the largest ship in the world at the time of its launch. It sank in the early hours of April 14 to 15 in 1912 during its travel voyage from Southampton to New York.
In the sinking of the Titanic died 1514 people of the 2223 that were abroad. This tragedy was one of the largest wrecks in history occurred in peacetime. The Titanic was built between 1909 and 1912 at the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast, the Titanic was the second of the three trans- forming the Olympic class , owned by the White Star Line.
Among its passengers, there were some of the richest people in the world, and hundreds of Irish. British and Scandinavian immigrants went in search of a better life in America. The boat was designed to be the ultimate in luxury and comfort. It had a gym, swimming pool, library , upscale restaurants and opulent cabins for first class travelers . It was also equipped with a powerful telegraph station for use by passengers and crew , and advanced security measures , as its hull bulkheads and airlocks activated remotely.
The collision opened several hull plates on its starboard side below the waterline along five of its sixteen bulkheads , which began to flood.For two and a half hours the boat was gradually sinking his front while the stern rose , and at this time several hundred passengers and crew were evacuated on lifeboats, some of which were not filled to maximum capacity. very large number of men died due to rescue strict protocol followed in the process of building evacuation , known as " women and children first " Just before 2:20, in April 15 , the Titanic broke in half and sank by the half with hundreds of people still aboard . Most of those left floating on the sea surface died of hypothermia , though some were rescued by the lifeboats. The 710 survivors were rescued by the RMS Carpathia few hours later.
The wreck of the Titanic was discovered on September 1, 1985 by oceanographer Robert Ballard U.S. at the bottom of the North Atlantic at a depth of 3784 meters . The remains are badly damaged and suffer a progressive deterioration , but since its discovery thousands of objects on the boat have been recovered from the seabed and are on display in many museums. The Titanic is perhaps the most famous ship in history and its memory is very much alive thanks to numerous books , songs, films, exhibitions and memorials.

In April 2012 , the Australian billionaire Clive Palmer announced the construction of Titanic II , which will be an exact replica of the RMS Titanic. The launch is scheduled for September 8, 2016.
After sail from Southampton on April 10, 1912 , the Titanic docked in Cherbourg, France and Queenstown (now Cobh) in Ireland, before setting sail the Atlantic Ocean. At 23:40 on April 14 , four days after leaving and about 600 km south of Newfoundland, the Titanic struck an iceberg.However, due to outdated safety standards of the time, only carried lifeboats for 1178 passengers, five little more than half the people on board on its maiden voyage and a third of its total capacity.
