The Titanic 3D is a 3-dimensional environment, accessible via the Internet with the AW-E browser. You move around it using your arrow keys and a few others.

R: You can move forwards and backwards or turn around with your arrow keys. Signs on board of the Titanic will help you with the other functions like running, changing your camera view point and even flying around! R: The Titanic 3D is a visualisation made by Emmanuel Asset, based on the original plans and drawings. Susan Katarzis made the Avatars and clothing after research on the original clothes during those times.

Due to her fragile condition, the depth, and the immense cost involved, no. At least not intact. A lot of controversy surrounds the possibility of someone dismantling the ship and raising it piece by piece. Fortunately, no. Human remains were long ago consumed by marine life, Grim reminders of the tragedy do still exist such as shoes and boots lying on the sea floor in the same position where the victims settled.

The wealthiest passenger aboard was undoubtedly 47 year old John Jacob Astor. Though he had inherited a vast fortune from his great grandfather, he had extended this empire through real estate, particularly hotels.

Titanic was designed with a series of transverse bulkheads, separating her into 16 "water-tight" compartments. Unfortunately, these bulkheads, while extending above the water-line, were not capped with water-tight decks. Her designers considered a breach between two compartments a worse case scenario, and in fact designed her to float with any four compartments flooded.

It's basically a joke, looking back over the past 10 years at these companies(?) that have come and gone that claimed to have plans to build or to be building a Titanic replica. The webmaster originally had a list posted here of several articles and websites of organizations making the claim to have full intentions of building a replica, complete with estimated launch dates. In updating links etc. to this site in Jan.

This is one of the most asked questions we get. Certainly the Titanic is one of the most famous ships of all time. Since we deal only in original items , anything from the Titanic is extremely rare and commands a very high price. Most original Titanic items are sold at auction, and therefore we do not have a list of Titanic Items for Sale. We do offer for purchase our reproduction Deck Plans (The only item we sell that is not original).

Here is a concept that is sometimes hard to understand or accept until you think about it for a while. "All Accidents are Preventable." National Safety Council Simply put; Titanic was traveling way too fast in an area known to contain ice; that's the bottom line, Whether that was the way ship captains handled situations like that in those days or not, * ("..

The "stand alone" White Star Line ceased to exist in 1934. The merged company of "Cunard White Star" ended in 1950 at which time Cunard dropped the White Star name and burgee from it's house flag and the company returned to the name, Cunard. Today Cunard still exists, but as an owned subsidiary of the Carnival Cruise Line Corporation. Harland and Wolff is very much still in business today in Belfast but no longer manufactures the big passenger ships.

The Titanic, registered as a British mail ship was really owned by the American railroad tycoon, J.P. Morgan. He had most of the controlling interest in the American railroads and was looking to expand his ownership to seize control of the Atlantic shipping trade. He succeeded in acquiring the White Star Line in 1902. White Star had asked the City of New York to enlarge and extend the piers to accommodate their new super liners and were flatly refused.

Although the Titanic is best known for carrying the rich and famous between Europe and the United States, the Ship actually had several purposes: 1. To carry British and US mail--hence the full name of the ship is Royal Mail Ship (RMS) Titanic. 2. To carry general cargo and frozen meat since at that time Europe could not produce enough livestock to meet its own needs. 3.

The Titanic was 882 feet 8 inches long, 92 feet 6 inches in breadth. Her designed waterline was 34 feet, 7 inches above the keel. At that waterline the Titanic weighed 52,310 tons or 117,174,400 pounds. The Ship's hull and superstructure contained 4,632,800 cubic feet (46,328 gross tons) of space. Of that 2,183,100 cubic feet (21,831 net tons) were used to make money carrying passengers or cargo.

The Titanic was constructed by the shipbuilding firm of Harland and Wolff at their Queen's Island Works in Belfast, Ireland. Edward Harland acquired the yard in 1859. A few years later, G. W. Wolff was taken into the partnership and in 1862 the name changed to Harland and Wolff. By the time of the Titanic's construction, both these men had either died or gone into retirement, and the company placed under the management of Lord Pirrie.

Titanic's wreck site is located 963 miles northeast of New York and 453 miles southeast of the Newfoundland coastline.

Sadly, even if the technology existed to raise it from the seabed, the wreck is far too fragile to withstand lifting and transportation.

You have to realize the time period in which Titanic was built. The gilded age was an era when new and wondrous things were happening every day. The Titanic's shear size gave an impression of invulnerability. Most people don't realize it, but the White Star line never actually claimed Titanic was unsinkable. This line was made popular by the press of the time, and maybe a few over-zealous shipyard workmen.

The keel for Titanic was laid in March 1909, and her hull was launched May, 1911. She was then towed to a fitting out basin where her interiors were installed. She was completed in Feb 1912. So it basically took 3 years to build the Titanic.

Neither are true as far as what's been documented. Titanic was actually the fourth known vessel to use the SOS call. It's important to understand that we're talking about SOS, not the CQD call, the predecessor to SOS. The first recorded use of the SOS call occurred on January 23, 1909 when the White Star liner Republic was passing Nantucket in a dense fog and was suddenly rammed by the Italian liner Florida.

There are a number of books by an "author" who I will not name, for fear it may make it easy to find his books, which put forth this ridiculous theory. There are a number of visible, structural differences between the two ships. They were at the time the largest vessels in the world, and were constructed, launched and sailed under the celebration and scrutiny of the world and the media.

The steel used to plate both Titanic and her sister Olympic was, by 1912 standards, of very high quality well suited to 1912 ship building practices. Each plate was milled to exact specifications at tremendous cost to the builder and shipowner. There was nothing new or unusual about the steel, and hulls built with similar steel lived long and productive years of service.

R: Every triangle represents an object and every object must be downloaded once from the Internet. On a slow connection (56K) it can take up to 15 minutes to load everything the first time and allow you to walk on the Titanic. So be patient, it is worth it! If you still see triangles after loading, try a different Video setting in your Options, Settings menu by choosing Video and activating the different video modes. R: 3D environments, especially Multi-user ones use a lot of video power.

The story of the ship is and many of the characters were really on board. However, the love story is completely fictional.
