RMS Titanic: the untold story


RMS Titanic

RMS Titanic

This weekend will mark the 100th anniversary of the sinking of RMS Titanic on her maiden voyage. Titanic never made it to Liverpool, where she was designed and registered, but Lord David Alton reveals the little-known story of the ship’s historical and ongoing links with Catholic life in the city.

At 11.40pm on 14 April, one hundred years ago, RMS Titanic collided with an iceberg 375 miles south of Newfoundland as she sailed on her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York.

Built in Belfast by Harland and Wolff, she was operated by White Star Line. There were around 2,200 people aboard Titanic when she sank, including some 900 crew.
