How large was the Titanic?
The Titanic was 882 feet 8 inches long, 92 feet 6 inches in breadth. Her designed waterline was 34 feet, 7 inches above the keel. At that waterline the Titanic weighed 52,310 tons or 117,174,400 pounds. The Ship’s hull and superstructure contained 4,632,800 cubic feet (46,328 gross tons) of space. Of that 2,183,100 cubic feet (21,831 net tons) were used to make money carrying passengers or cargo. The Titanic’s engines totaled 50,000-horse power, but her builders believed she could have developed 55,000 HP if she had survived.
