News just in! The Titanic, also known as the floating palace, was launched yesterday in Southampton. It’s travelling past France and Ireland and is heading to New York. It was launched at 12pm, 10th April 1912.
It was built in March 1909 in Belfast by Harland and Wolff. The designer was a man called Thomas Andrews. It is said he is going to be a passenger on the ship. This magnificent ship is not only the biggest moving object but has other luxury features such as Turkish baths, a grand staircase, a gymnasium, a reading and writing room and a 1st class lunge.
At the quayside right now it’s extremely busy with friends and family waving goodbye. There was a lot of cheering and crying. The ship is the size of 22 buses lined up end to end! It also has a kennel for passengers’ pets!
As the boat sails across the Atlantic Ocean passengers can’t wait to get to New York to start a new life!
