Facts about the Titanic and the Titanic tragedy
Introduction
On 25 November 1908, the White Star Line, a subsidiary of the International
Mercantile Marine Company, officially announced that the names of the second
of it's two great liners, which were to be built, would be the Titanic. Incidently,
it was announced that the tonnage of each vessel (Titanic and Olympic) would
be about 60,000, which was nearly twice that of the Mauretania. The keel blocks
for the first of these amazing ships, the Olympic, were laid down at Belfast the
previous week. The keel blocks for the Titanic would be laid down in January 1909.
Great preparations had been going on at Belfast for more than a year for the
constructions of the great vessels. Two new docks, each more than a thousand
feet long and capable of bearing a weight of 75,000 tons, had been built.
