Do you trust this ship? Royal Caribbean's "Icon Of The Seas" will be the largest cruise ship in the world when it sails January 2024. Holds 10,000 people (7,600 passengers, 2400 crew members). Reportedly 5 times larger and heavier than the Titanic and 20 deck floors tall.

What’s your favourite Titanic fact?
THE SHIP
It can be about the people, the ship, anything. Something I recently learned is that there were 12 dogs on Titanic, and on the morning of April 15th there was supposed to be an (informal) dog show. Sadly it never happened. Three dogs (2 Pomeranians and 1 Pekingese) boarded life boats, and the other 9 dogs… were the bestest boys and swam all the way to Halifax and promptly received tummy rubs on arrival.

The replica of the RMS Titanic was constructed for the 1997 movie "Titanic," directed by James Cameron. The majority of the ship's exterior and interior sets were built at the Baja Studios in Rosarito, Mexico. A near-full-scale model of the ship was created, which was about 90% of the original Titanic’s length, measuring approximately 775 feet long.

The construction involved detailed research to ensure historical accuracy. The exterior set was mounted on a platform that could tilt to simulate the sinking, and large water tanks were used for the ocean scenes. Many of the interior rooms, such as the Grand Staircase and dining rooms, were meticulously recreated based on original blueprints, photographs, and artifacts from the actual Titanic.

The replica was designed with special effects in mind, including controlled flooding and breakaway sections for scenes depicting the ship's destruction. These sets allowed for realistic and dramatic portrayals of the events leading up to and during the sinking of the Titanic in the film.

Sailors slept in hammocks because they stayed well-balanced even when the ship was in motion. The Royal Navy formally adopted the sling hammock in 1597, long after Columbus first encountered them in the Bahamas. Sailors became so accustomed to hammocks that many even took them home on leave.
