• RMS stands for Royal Mail Steamer.  In the Titanic era, this signified a ship that was certified to carry mail.

• The Titanic had four elevators, a heated swimming pool, a gym, two libraries, and two barber shops.

• The Titanic set sail on its maiden voyage from Southampton, England, to New York, on April 10, 1912.

• On April 14 - 15, 1912, the ship hit an iceberg in the North Atlantic around midnight and sank in less than three hours.

• The estimated cost of construction was $7.5 million (over $400 million in today's dollars.)

• The ship's length was 882 feet, 9 inches, and it weighed 46,328 tons.  Its top speed was 23 knots.

• The iceberg that the Titanic hit was one of approximately three hundred in the North Atlantic shipping lanes -- the most seen in that route in over fifty years.

• The iceberg punctured five of sixteen supposedly watertight compartments designed to hold water in case of a breach to the hull.

• Approximately 1,500 people died and nearly 700 survived out of the 2,220 passengers and crew.
