"I cannot visualize any condition which would cause a ship to founder. I cannot conceive of any essential disaster happening to this vessel." - Captain Edward J. Smith "The looks of safeness was mistaken for safeness itself." - Walter Lord, writer of A Night to Remember Right before midnight on Apr 14, 1912, the RMS Titanic, the largest ship on the globe, struck an iceberg, starting a string of events that would finally make it history's most well-known, and notorious, dispatch. Inside the over-100 years since it sank on its maiden voyage, the Titanic has been the subject of endless fascination, as evidenced by the work to find its final resting location, the museums filled with its objects, and the countless catalogs, documentaries, and movies made about the doomed ocean liner. The Titanic was neither the first nor last big dispatch to sink, so it is clear that much of its appeal stems from the type of dispatch itself. Indeed, the Titanic sticks out not just because of its end but for its beginning: specifically the fact that it was the most luxurious traveler ship ever built at the time. As well as the time it got to create the look, the giant dispatch took a full three years to create, and no effort or cost was spared to dress the Titanic in the most luxurious ways. Given that the Titanic was over 100 legs tall, almost 900 legs long, and over 90 legs wide, it's evident that those who built her and provided most of its famous amenities experienced plenty of work to do.
