The duration to build the Titanic took around two years, construction started on March 31,1909. This included a team of about 3,000 men to help create this massive unsinkable ship. This ship was equivalent to the length of 40 buses. As you can see, the enormous ship slowly began to form and the last thing put on the ship was the four huge smokestacks (pillars). Though the fourth and last smokestack was just for display and didn't really have a function. A 16 ton anchor had to be carried by 20 horses to the shipyard. Two bronze propellers sized at 23 feet, 29 boilers, and 660 tons of coal made the ship have a speed of 23 knots.The Titainc was divided into 16 lower compartments, 9 decks, and 899 members on board.
