RMS Titanic

History.

RMS Titanic was the largest passenger steamship in the world when she set off on her maiden voyage from Southampton, England to New York City on 10 April 1912. Four days into the crossing, at 23:40 on 14 April 1912, she struck an iceberg and sank at 2:20 the following morning, resulting in the deaths of 1,517 people in one of the deadliest peacetime maritime disasters in history.

Built in the Harland and Wolff Shipyard in Belfast not far from where the Lambeg Drum was first seen and heard the two have been connected with Northern Ireland ever since.
