Description
Launched on May 31st, 1911, the R.M.S. Titanic was the largest of the Olympic class Ocean Liners. Along with her sister ships R.M.S. Olympic and H.M.H.S. Brittanic, the three were built by the White Star Line to compete with Cunard's new liners Lusitania and Mauretania. Together, the Olympic's pushed the boundaries of ships in terms of size and luxury. Titanic was built in Belfast along with her sisters from March 1909 to April 2nd 1912.
On the day Titanic's maiden voyage began, she carried 2,435 passengers and 892 crew members. Among the passengers aboard were John Jacob Astor IV and his wife, Margaret "Molly" Brown (later known as the Unsinkable Molly Brown), and White Star Chairman J. Bruce Ismay.
The voyage was almost stalled, however, as Titanic's huge displacement caused the S.S. City of New York to pull free of her cables. The ships avoided colliding by a mere four feet. Afterward, Titanic sailed for Queenstown, Cork Harbor, and finally sailed into the Atlantic, toward New York.
Fun Fact: This picture was uploaded at 12:00 noon, the exact time Titanic left for her maiden voyage 100 years ago.

Wow! This is a really cool painting! Would you paint something like this in a commission? There's a sidewheel paddle steamer in one of my stories I'd love to have illustrated.
