CHAPTER 1

All Aboard!

The year is 1912. A giant ship gleams in England’s Southampton harbor. Titanic’s looming shadow makes even the most powerful passenger feel small. No ship this big has ever been built.

The huge ship was built with safety in mind. Watertight walls called bulkheads are designed to keep water from flowing from one part of the ship to another. The ship also has 15 watertight doors. Newspapers say that Titanic is practically unsinkable.

In 1912, Titanic was the world’s largest ocean liner. The ship was 882 feet, 9 inches long.

All over the world, people await Titanic’s first voyage with excitement. They’ve followed the newspaper stories about it for months. It took three years to build Titanic, at a cost of $7.5 million. The ship has a saltwater swimming pool, a library, a gym, and three elevators.

In all, 1,316 passengers will travel aboard Titanic across the Atlantic Ocean to New York City. Some of the world’s richest people have planned for months to take this first voyage. They have paid thousands of dollars for the trip.

But the rich aren’t the only ones to experience this amazing ship. Third-class passengers step on a wooden gangway into the lower levels of the ship. Many are immigrants from Europe seeking a better life in the United States.

Captain Edward Smith led the ship’s crew of 890 people.

Some people traveling on the ship aren’t passengers. The ship has a crew of 890 people. They include cooks, stewards, engineers, and a doctor. Other staff members work for private companies. These people are orchestra members, wireless radio operators, and restaurant workers.

Your stateroom is as elegant as a grand hotel. Carved oak lines the walls. Some mirrors are trimmed in gold. Every stateroom has electric light and heat. It makes you feel like royalty.

Once you’ve settled in, you decide to explore the ship. You spot the ship’s grand staircase. Topped
