The RMS Titanic was an Olympic-class passenger liner owned by the White Star Line and built at the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast, United Kingdom. For her time, she was the largest passenger steamship in the world.

On the night of 14 April 1912, during her maiden voyage, Titanic hit an iceberg and sank two hours and forty minutes later, early on 15 April 1912. The sinking resulted in the deaths of 1,517 people, making it one of the most deadly peacetime maritime disasters in history. The high casualty rate was due in part to the fact that, although complying with the regulations of the time, the ship did not carry enough lifeboats for everyone aboard. The ship had a total lifeboat capacity of 1,178 persons even though her maximum capacity was 3,547 people. A disproportionate number of men died also, due to the women-and-children-first protocol that was followed.

The Titanic used some of the most advanced technology available at the time and was, after the sinking, popularly believed to have been described as unsinkable.[4] It was a great shock to many that, despite the extensive safety features and experienced crew, the Titanic sank. The frenzy on the part of the media about Titanic's famous victims, the legends about the sinking, the resulting changes to maritime law, and the discovery of the wreck have contributed to the interest in and fame of the Titanic that continues to this day.

# In one case in the third class, a Swedish family lost the mother, Alma Pålsson, and her four children, all aged under 10. The father was waiting for them to arrive at the destination. "Paulson's grief was the most acute of any who visited the offices of the White Star, but his loss was the greatest. His whole family had been wiped out." [36]
# The sailors aboard the ship CS Mackay-Bennett which recovered bodies from Titanic, who were very upset by the discovery of the unknown boy's body, paid for a monument and he was buried on 4 May 1912 with a copper pendant placed in his coffin by the sailors that read "Our Babe". The unknown child was later positively identified as Sidney Goodwin.
# One survivor, stewardess Violet Jessop, who had been on board the RMS Olympic when she collided with HMS Hawke in 1911, went on to survive the sinking of HMHS Britannic in 1916.
# Titanic survivors who have recently passed away include Lillian Asplund on 6 May 2006 and Barbara Dainton (née West) on 16 October 2007.
# Millvina Dean, who was only two months old at the time of the sinking, is the only living survivor of the Titanic. Although she is 97 years old, she has remained active in Titanic-related events and lives in Southampton, England.
# There are many stories relating to dogs on the Titanic. Apparently, a passenger released the dogs just before the ship went down; they were seen running up and down the decks. At least two dogs survived.

In many locations there are memorials to the dead of the Titanic. In Southampton, England a memorial to the engineers of the Titanic may be found in Andrews Park on Above Bar Street. Opposite the main memorial is a memorial to Wallace Hartley and the other musicians who played on the Titanic. A memorial to the liner is also located on the grounds of City Hall in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

In the United States there are memorials to the Titanic disaster as well. The Titanic Memorial in Washington, D.C. and a memorial to Ida Straus at Straus Park in Manhattan, New York are two examples.

On 15 April 2012, the 100th anniversary of the sinking of Titanic is planned to be commemorated around the world. By that date, the Titanic Quarter in Belfast is planned to have been completed. The area will be regenerated and a signature memorial project unveiled to celebrate Titanic and her links with Belfast, the city that had built the ship.

Alright, for your knowledge, the photos at 1:09 an 1:14 are NOT Titanic, but her "rescue" ship, the Carpathia.

[vaivataFinn]

I shall, but could you privately send me your e-mail adress so i can e-mail it to you?

[superaagou]

Really??? Can you send it to me please, since I really want to see those children? Thank you very much! :)

The Titanic had four funnels, the fourth one being a dummy for show.

I have a photo taken in 1911 of Torborg and Paul and another of Gosta aged about 10 months.

[apekkapoika]

The pictuers at 1:09 and 1:14 only show one smoke stack? Are they of the Titanic?

[superaagou]

Alma's children were the sweetest ones on board, along with the Andersson children (especially Ebba). May they Rest In Peace.

By the way, have you ever heard of a picture of the two oldest Pålssons, Torborg and Paul? I saw one once but it wasn't very clear and it was very small...
