On April 10th, expectant crowds gathered to withness the Titanic's departure. Passengers flooded up the gangway. Some accompanied by family or friends who wanted to see inside the magnificent steamship.
In 1912, the Titanic was one of the largest, most luxurious steamships every built. Follow its incredible story, from a shipyard in Ireland to the icy Atlantic Ocean, and discover how this "unsinkable" ship met with such a tragic end.
