The Titanic is one of the most famous ships in history, not because of its size or luxury, but because of its tragic maiden voyage.

The Titanic was built by the Belfast shipyard Harland and Wolff for the White Star Line. Its construction started in 1909, and it was launched in 1911. The Titanic was the largest ship afloat at the time, designed with luxury in mind, and was billed as "unsinkable" due to its state-of-the-art watertight compartments.

The Titanic began its maiden voyage from Southampton, England, on April 10, 1912, destined for New York City. The ship made stops in Cherbourg, France, and Queenstown (now Cobh), Ireland, before heading out into the Atlantic.

The Titanic had capacity for over 2,400 passengers and more than 800 crew members. On the night of April 14, 1912, despite receiving several ice warnings, the Titanic struck an iceberg at around 11:40 PM. After the collision, the ship began to take on water rapidly.

Out of the estimated 2,224 passengers and crew onboard, more than 1,500 died, making it one of the deadliest commercial maritime disasters in history. The high death toll was due to the inadequate number of lifeboats, the freezing Atlantic waters, and other factors.

The wreck of the Titanic remained undiscovered until 1985 when it was located by a joint American-French expedition led by Dr Robert Ballard. It lies in two main pieces about 370 miles south-southeast of Newfoundland, Canada, at a depth of about 12,500 feet.

The Titanic tragedy has had a lasting cultural impact, inspiring numerous books, films, and songs. One of the most famous portrayals is James Cameron's 1997 film "Titanic," which went on to become one of the highest-grossing films of all time.
