The Titanic was the biggest ship in the White Star Fleet.

There were more crew members on the Titanic than passengers.

The ship could still float on the water even if a few of the hull’s compartments were filled with water.

The Titanic wanted to take the fastest route to New York.

The water in the North Atlantic had a temperature of —2° C.

There were enough lifeboats for everyone to get in.

The captain did not know that there were icebergs floating nearby

It took the ship almost a kilometre to come to a halt.

The passengers knew at once that the ship hit an iceberg.

The surviving passengers were rescued two hours later.
