1. Story
2. Olympic-class transatlantic liner of the White Star Line, yard number 401 at Harland and Wolff, Belfast. Registered at Liverpool at 46,328 gross register tons and about 269.1 m (882 ft 9 in) overall, she was among the largest moving objects then built. Her hull was divided into sixteen watertight compartments, but the transverse bulkheads did not reach high enough to contain flooding once more than four were open to the sea. She sank on her maiden voyage on 15 April 1912 after striking an iceberg; roughly 2,200 people were aboard and about 1,500 died, the exact totals differing between the British and American inquiries.

129. Evidence
130. Titanic was yard number 401: keel laid 31 March 1909, launched 31 May 1911, completed and handed over 2 April 1912; Olympic was hull 400 and Britannic hull 433.
131. Titanic entered at 46,328 gross register tons, registered at Liverpool, owner the Oceanic Steam Navigation Company (White Star Line).
132. Found the loss due to collision with an iceberg brought about by the excessive speed at which the ship was navigated; recorded the ship's particulars, the voyage timings, the ice messages received and the lifeboat complement; held that Titanic exceeded the Board of Trade requirement; found the Californian could have reached her; concluded (incorrectly) that the hull sank intact.
