What was Titanic? R.M.S Titanic (aka Royal Mail Steamer/Steamship) Titanic was an ocean liner that sailed from April 10th 1912 at Southampton, England to what was intended to be New York City, but sank on April 14/15th 1912. She was built by Harland and Wolff in Belfast, Northern Ireland and was intended to be part of a trio of sister ships for White Star Line. Fact #1: Dimensions Compared to today's cruise ships, Titanic of course would be dwarfed, but so would a lot of other things. 1. She was 882 and 1/2 feet long. 2. Her height was 175 feet from her keel to the tops of her funnels. 3. Her width was 92 feet, 6". 4. Stood on end, she's taller than the Empire State Building in New York City.
