The Belfast shipyard Harland & Wolff took three years to build the eight-decker steamer known as the "Titanic." On May 31, 1911, the ship was launched into the ocean. The Titanic was the biggest ship in the world when it was launched and put into operation. To give you an idea of the size of the Titanic, we've gathered a few lesser-known images from the ship.

In the next 50 years, nothing will remain of the Titanic. Today, its hull is covered with bacteria and other organisms that annually consume up to 180 kilograms of material. Yearly dives to depths of over 3,500 meters allow for monitoring this process.
