At 882 ft. long, which is about a sixth of a mile,the Titanic would take up the full length of the Mall (street) in Dingle.
Measuring 92 ft. on the beam, six saloon-type cars could park end to end across her deck.
On the ships height of 175 ft. from bottom of keel to top of the funnels, Benner’s hotel (Dingle) could be stacked four times. (One of the four funnels was a dummy and only used for aesthetics)
Three propellors, one central (17 ft. dia) and two on the wings (each 23 ft. 6 in. dia), were mounted forward of a rudder which weighed 100 tons. The rudder was over 78 ft. high (13 tall men) and had its own steam engine for manouvering; a back-up engine was kept on stand-by for the same purpose.
2,000 plates of steel, each measuring 6 ft. x 30 ft., were used to sheath the hull; that’s eight and a quarter acres of plate which if laid out would cover 3.5 miles of a two-lane roadway. (From Milltown Bridge, Dingle to Quinn’s Pub, Ventry).
Harland and Wolff employed 15,000 workers in 1909 when the keel was laid for the Titanic; 3,000 of them worked on the ill-fated liner without hard hats or any other personal safety gear; machinery was not required to have safety guards at the time. Six workers died during construction and 246 injuries were recorded, 28 of these being severe, with several involving loss of limbs.
When the ship was launched 22 tons of soap and tallow were used to ease the hull on its way into the River Lagan.
During her trials in the Irish Sea a ‘crash stop’ was performed from 18 knots and it took the boat 3min. 15sec to stop over a distance of a half mile.
On her maiden voyage it took 175 firemen working around the clock to shovel 600 tons of coal per day into her furnaces; 100 tons of ashes were ejected each day into the ocean.
In the ships stores there were 40,000 eggs and 30,000 kg of meat; this would fill approximately 60 supermarket shopping trollies. She carried 1,000 bottles of wine and four cases of opium. Five grand pianos as well as 20,000 bed sheet were also included in the stores.
The exact number of passengers is not known: some who bought tickets did not turn up and others missed the boat; a figure of 1,317 is commonly used; 885 crew signed up. The route of the maiden voyage was: Southampton – Cherbourg – Queenstown – New York.
The Titanic travelled 1797 nautical miles from Queenstown to her last reported position at 41° 46’ N, 50° 14’ W.  This position was proved to be erroneous by a couple of miles in later years.
While the Titanic was sinking The Californian was less than twenty miles away but had her radio switched off; it was not compulsory at the time to maintain radio watch at sea throughout the night.
The first lifeboat launched from the stricken ship had less than half the 65 spaces occupied; in all 472 lifeboat spaces were not used.
When the ship finally went under, there were more than a thousand people still on board. The ship ended up in two sections a third of a mile apart on the sea floor with the forward section buried for up to sixty feet as a result of impact; the 200-240ft. gash along her starboard side is not visible from the outside.
Lost were: 53 children; 109 women and 1352 men (of whom 693 were crew) 1514 souls in all. The last survivor, Millvina Dean from England, died aged 97 on 31 May, 2009.
Liverpool, which was printed on the ship’s stern and is visible on several photos of the ship, was Titanic’s port of registry, her home port; sadly, she never made it there.
