50 Images From The Titanic You Have To See To Believe

100,000 People watched the Titanic’s launch

The launch of the Titanic in May 1911 attracted quite the crowd as 100,000 were present to see the historic liner launch into the Lagan River. This was after the ship’s two-year construction that required the combined efforts of thousands of shipyard workers as well as skilled engineers and designers.

The ship’s launch was a funfair that attracted spectators and members of the press from different parts of the world; everyone wanted to see the 882 feet long and 92 feet high ship go into the water. Crazy to think that all of these people never imagined that they were also witnessing the boat’s last voyage.
