The way in which the Titanic sank brought to light serious design issues with the Olympic-class. This resulted in the Olympic receiving a major refit and major design changes for the construction of the Britannic. [222] Rebecca Onion (16 April 2013). "After the Titanic, the Lawsuits". Slate.com.

On 18 June 1912, Guglielmo Marconi gave evidence to the Court of Inquiry regarding the telegraphy. Its final report recommended that all liners carry the system and that sufficient operators maintain a constant service. [221] Verhoeven, John D. (2007). Steel Metallurgy for the Non-Metallurgist.

Mat: It’s always interesting seeing a spread come to life from start to end and one of my favourites is the ‘Passengers’ scene near the start. From early sketches to finished product, could you talk us through the process?

The water temperature was well below normal in the area where Titanic sank. It also contributed to the rapid death of many passengers during the sinking. Water temperature readings taken around the time of the accident were reported to be −2°C (28°F). Typical water temperatures were normally around 7°C (45°F) during mid-April. [233] The coldness of the water was a critical factor, often causing death within minutes for many of those in the water.Known afterward as the "Unsinkable Molly Brown" due to her efforts in helping other passengers while the ship sank. On 23 April, the Daily Mail reported: "Late in the afternoon hope died out. The waiting crowds thinned, and silent men and women sought their homes. In the humbler homes of Southampton there is scarcely a family who has not lost a relative or friend. Children returning from school appreciated something of tragedy, and woeful little faces were turned to the darkened, fatherless homes." [196] The passenger facilities aboard Titanic aimed to meet the highest standards of luxury. According to Titanic 's general arrangement plans, the ship could accommodate 833 First Class Passengers, 614 in Second Class and 1,006 in Third Class, for a total passenger capacity of 2,453. In addition, her capacity for crew members exceeded 900, as most documents of her original configuration have stated that her full carrying capacity for both passengers and crew was approximately 3,547. Her interior design was a departure from that of other passenger liners, which had typically been decorated in the rather heavy style of a manor house or an English country house. [52] Titanic was launched at 12:15pm on 31 May 1911 in the presence of Lord Pirrie, J. Pierpont Morgan, J. Bruce Ismay and 100,000 onlookers. [91] [92] Twenty-two tons of soap and tallow were spread on the slipway to lubricate the ship's passage into the River Lagan. [90] In keeping with the White Star Line's traditional policy, the ship was not formally named or christened with champagne. [91] The ship was towed to a fitting-out berth where, over the course of the next year, her engines, funnels and superstructure were installed and her interior was fitted out.
