that sank in the North Atlantic Ocean on 15 April 1912, after striking an iceberg during her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City. Of the estimated 2,224 passengers and crew aboard, more than 1,500 died, making the sinking at the time one of the deadliest of a single ship and the deadliest peacetime sinking of a superliner or cruise ship to date. With much public attention in the aftermath, the disaster has since been the material of many artistic works and a founding material of the disaster film genre.
RMS Titanic was the largest ship afloat at the time she entered service and was the second of three Olympic-class ocean liners operated by the White Star Line. She was built by the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast. Thomas Andrews, chief naval architect of the shipyard at the time, died in the disaster.
Approximately, three million rivets were hammered into the massive hull of the British passenger liner RMS Titanic. The 46,000-ton ship was made of steel and both its beams and plates were secured by its rivets. Each rivet was formed at a factory into a mushroom shape; it was heated at the worksite to incandescent temperatures and then inserted into the aligned holes of plates and beams. The glowing-hot end, or tail, was then hammered down to lock the parts firmly together.
The rivets were made of wrought iron, which contained some slag, usually a mixture of metal oxides and silicon dioxide. This contaminant has always been useful because pure iron is very ductile, bending easily without breaking. Slag gives it added strength.
Suspicions of rivet failure have long haunted the famous disaster, along with other possible culprits. Questions of any detective work however turned away from rivets after expeditions in the late 1980s and early 1990s picked up Titanic parts and artefacts. Analysis showed that the hull plates were made of mediocre steel that was apt to fracture in cold water, suggesting that the iceberg caused wide cracking
The wreck of Titanic was discovered in 1985 by a Franco-American expedition sponsored by the United States Navy. The ship was split in two and is gradually disintegrating at a depth of 12,415 feet.
