The Titanic is actually quite small compared to modern cruise ships. The Titanic weighed 46,000 gross tons and length of 883 Feet. The Oasis of the Seas (soon to be the largest cruise ship) will weigh 222,900 gross tons and be 1,184 feet.
Part of a new âOlympicâ class of liners, they would each measure 882 feet in length and 92.5 feet at their broadest point, making them the largest of their time. In March 1909, work began in the massive Harland and Wolff yard on the second of these ships, Titanic, and continued nonstop until the spring of 1911. On May 31, 1911, Titanicâs immense hullâat the time, the largest movable manmade object in the worldâmade its way down the slipways and into the River Lagan in Belfast. More than 100,000 people attended the launching, which took just over a minute and went off without a hitch.
