* The Titanic was the world's largest ship of its time. It was the greatest thing man created at that time that could never be drowned.

* The Titanic ship began to be built on March 31, 1909, by a team of three thousand people, and in just 26 months, it was built by May 31, 1911. The ship was as big as three football fields and on May 31, 1911, more than a million people came to see it.

* Titanic's decoration and chimneys continued until April 1912 and were scheduled to go for its first (and last) voyage this month.

* The Titanic sailed from Southampton, England, to New York on April 10, 1912. Four days went all right, but on April 14, 1912, at 11:40 p.m., it collided with an iceberg and began to fill its submerged stretches.

* A weeterous atmosphere arose as the ship crashed into the iceberg, but in times of crisis, some wise people came forward and cheered the people. The lifeboats on the ship took the children and others off the ship safely.

* About 2 hours 40 minutes after the collision from Iceberg, the ship completely sank into the sea. (from 11:40 a.m. to 2:20 p.m.)

* An estimated 3547 people were on board the ship, of which 2687 were passengers and 860 crew members. Of these, 1537 people lost their lives in the tragedy.

* There were only 20 lifeboats on the Titanic ship, which was enough to save only one-third of its people, perhaps not so many people would have been killed if there were more lifeboats on the ship.

* Only 306 dead bodies were found in the accident.

* The water in which the Titanic was submerged had a temperature of -2 degrees Celsius, in which no person could survive for more than 15 minutes.

* Despite the news of the ship's slow sinking, its musicians continued to sing until the time it sank so that they and those who died in time could spend their last moments happy.

* The ship-hitting iceberg was about 100 feet high. It came from Greenland's Throatshire.

* An estimated 300,000-thousand-year-old iceberg that hit the Titanic was separated from Greenland, but it was destroyed two weeks after the collision because the collision also caused considerable damage to the snow.

* Titanic needed 600 tons of coal every day. Of its 860 crew members, 176 were to be put into furnaces. The chimneys of the ship used to smoke 100 tonnes of smoke daily.

* Titanic had four large chimneys, of which only three smoked. The fourth chimney was fake and was only planted to balance the ship.
