## _The RMS Titanic has gone down in history as one of the biggest and most luxurious ships of her time._

Unfortunately she only made one voyage and it was during that voyage she hit an 
iceberg and sunk 2 and a half miles down to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.

The RMS Titanic was one of 3 ships designed and built by the Harland and Wolff shipping
company; the others were the RMS Olympic and the HMHS Britannic. Olympic was the
first of the 3 ships to be build, the Titanic was the second and the Britannic was
the final one of the Olympic Class Liners.

## 2. But she was the most expensive ship of her time.

The cost of the ship was reported to have been around $1.5 million, which is around
$400 million in today’s money, making her one of the most expensive ships built 
at that time. Out of the 3 liners built at that time, Titanic was the most expensive
owing to her luxurious fixtures and fittings.
