RMS Titanic was a passenger liner that struck an iceberg on her maiden voyage from Southampton, England, to New York City, and sank on 15 April 1912, resulting in the deaths of 1,517 people in one of the deadliest peacetime maritime disasters in history.

The largest passenger steamship in the world, the Olympic-class RMS Titanic was owned by the White Star Line and constructed at the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast, Ireland. After setting sail for New York City on 10 April 1912 with 2,223 people on board, she hit the iceberg four days into the crossing, at 11:40 pm on 14 April 1912, and sank at 2:20 am the following morning.

The high casualty rate resulting from the sinking was due in part to the fact that, although complying with the regulations of the time, the ship carried lifeboats for only 1,178 people. A disproportionate number of men died due to the "women and children first" protocol that was enforced by the ship's crew.

Next year all over the world people will remember the sinking on 10 April 1912. Here in Belfast there has been a great deal of work where Titanic was built in what is now known as THE TITANIC QUARTER. When completed for the Anniversary there will be a Museum and in this will be a floor furnished just as Titanic was and it is expected this will be used by happy couples wishing to get married there. All this helps to keep the Titanic story alive throughout the world.
