Titanic - Original Writing Titanic, 882 feet long, 92 feet broad, 45000 tons register, 66000 tons displacement and 175 feet high.

A chance of a lifetime, I was one of the few lucky enough to be chosen to actually work onboard the Titanic. It was just an hour until the Titanic would set sail on her maiden voyage
