A kind of ocean liner · also called Titanic, SS Titanic
About
The RMS Titanic was a massive British passenger liner measuring nearly three football fields from bow to stern.
Titanic was one of three Olympic-class sister ships, sharing its overall length with the earlier RMS Olympic. At the time of its completion in 1912, it was the largest moving human-made object on Earth. Today, major cruise ships dwarf it, often measuring over 1,100 feet (335 m) in length and weighing several times as much. The ship's height from the bottom of the keel to the tops of the funnels equaled a 17-story building.
