Text at the bottom of the print is as follows:
RMS TITANIC
˚ The Titanic set sail on her maiden voyage on 10 April 1912, from Southampton, UK, to New York, USA.
˚ At 11.40 pm on 14 April 1912, the Titanic struck the iceberg that leads to her sinking in less than 3 hours.
˚ At around 2.20 am on the morning of 15 April, Titanic disappeared beneath the surface of the Atlantic Ocean, a disaster that resulted in the loss of more than 1,500 lives, almost two-thirds of the people on board.
Unique Facts˚ Only three of Titanic’s four funnels were functional, the aft most (towards the stern) was added to make the Titanic look more impressive, it functioned as an air vent.
˚ At her launch still mostly an empty shell, the Titanic weighed 26,000 tonnes making her the heaviest object ever moved by people.
˚ Titanic’s launching did not include the customary breaking of a bottle of champagne on the bow of a boat for luck.
