RMS Titanic was a British passenger liner that sank in the North Atlantic Ocean in the early hours of 15 April 1912, after colliding with an iceberg during her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City. There were an estimated 2,224 passengers and crew aboard, and more than 1,500 died, making it one of the deadliest commercial peacetime maritime disasters in modern history.
RMS Titanic was the largest ship afloat at the time she entered service and was the second of three Olympic-class ocean liners operated by the White Star Line. She was built by the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast. Thomas Andrews, her architect, died in the disaster.
Titanic was under the command of Capt. Edward Smith, who also went down with the ship. The ocean liner carried some of the wealthiest people in the world, as well as hundreds of emigrants from Great Britain and Ireland, Scandinavia and elsewhere throughout Europe who were seeking a new life in the United States.
The first-class accommodation was designed to be the pinnacle of comfort and luxury, with an on-board gymnasium, swimming pool, libraries, high-class restaurants and opulent cabins. A high-powered radiotelegraph transmitter was available for sending passenger "marconigrams" and for the ship's operational use.
Although Titanic had advanced safety features such as watertight compartments and remotely activated watertight doors, it only carried enough lifeboats for 1,178 people—about half the number on board, and one third of her total capacity—due to outdated maritime safety regulations. The ship carried 16 lifeboat davits which could lower three lifeboats each, for a total of 48 boats.
However, Titanic carried only a total of 20 lifeboats, four of which were collapsible and proved hard to launch during the sinking.
After leaving Southampton on 10 April 1912, Titanic called at Cherbourg in France and Queenstown (now Cobh) in Ireland before heading west to New York. On 14 April, four days into the crossing and about 375 miles (600 km) south of Newfoundland, she hit an iceberg at 11:40 p.m. ship's time.
The collision caused the hull plates to buckle inwards along her starboard (right) side and opened five of her sixteen watertight compartments to the sea; she could only survive four flooding. Meanwhile, passengers and some crew members were evacuated in lifeboats, many of which were launched only partially loaded.
A disproportionate number of men were left aboard because of a "women and children first" protocol for loading lifeboats.[8] At 2:20 a.m., she broke apart and foundered with well over one thousand people still aboard. Just under two hours after Titanic sank, the Cunard liner RMS Carpathia arrived and brought aboard an estimated 705 survivors.
The disaster was met with worldwide shock and outrage at the huge loss of life and the regulatory and operational failures that led to it. Public inquiries in Britain and the United States led to major improvements in maritime safety. One of their most important legacies was the establishment in 1914 of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), which still governs maritime safety today.
Additionally, several new wireless regulations were passed around the world in an effort to learn from the many missteps in wireless communications—which could have saved many more passengers.
The wreck of Titanic was discovered in 1985 (more than 70 years after the disaster), and remains on the seabed. The ship was split in two and is gradually disintegrating at a depth of 12,415 feet (3,784 m). Thousands of artefacts have been recovered and displayed at museums around the world.
Titanic has become one of the most famous ships in history; her memory is kept alive by numerous works of popular culture, including books, folk songs, films, exhibits, and memorials.
Titanic is the second largest ocean liner wreck in the world, only beaten by her sister HMHS Britannic, the largest ever sunk, although she holds the record as the largest sunk while actually in service as a liner due to Britannic being used as a hospital ship at the time of her sinking. The final survivor of the sinking, Millvina Dean, aged two months at the time, died in 2009 at the age of 97.

1912年4月15日凌晨，一艘英国客轮“泰坦尼克号”在从南安普敦到纽约的首次航行中与冰山相撞，随后在北大西洋沉没。据估计，船上有2224名乘客和机组，超过1500人死亡，使其成为现代史上最致命的商业和平时期的海难之一。英国皇家邮轮泰坦尼克号是她服役时最大的漂浮船，也是白星航线运营的三艘奥运级远洋客轮中的第二艘。她是由哈兰德和沃尔夫造船厂在贝尔法斯特建造的。她的建筑师托马斯·安德鲁斯死于这场灾难。
泰坦尼克号在Edward Smith船长的指挥下，也与船一起下沉。这艘远洋班轮载着世界上最富有的一些人，以及来自大不列颠和爱尔兰、斯堪的纳维亚半岛和欧洲其他地方的数百名移民，他们在美国寻求新生活。一流的住宿是舒适和奢华的顶峰，有车载健身房、游泳池、图书馆、高级餐厅和豪华客舱。
一台大功率无线电报发射机可用于发送乘客“马康格雷姆”和船只的运营使用。尽管泰坦尼克号有先进的安全设施，如水密舱和遥控水密门，但它只载有1178人的救生艇。E-大约一半的船上，和她的总容量的三分之一由于过时的海上安全条例。这艘船搭载了16艘救生艇艇架，每艘救生艇可以减少三艘救生艇，共有48艘船。然而，泰坦尼克号总共只搭载了20艘救生艇，其中4艘在沉船期间是可折叠的，并且很难发射。
1912年4月10日，泰坦尼克号离开南安普敦后，先在法国的切尔堡和爱尔兰的昆斯敦（现为科布）停靠，然后向西驶向纽约。4月14日，在渡口四天后，在纽芬兰以南约375英里（600公里）处，她在船的时间晚上11:40撞上了冰山。这次碰撞导致船体板块沿着右舷向内弯曲，16个水密舱中的5个舱室通向大海，她只能经受4次洪水。
与此同时，乘客和一些机组人员在救生艇中撤离，其中许多只发射部分装载。由于“妇女儿童优先”的救生艇装载协议，有相当多的男人被留在船上。凌晨2:20，她崩溃了，船上还有1000多人。在泰坦尼克号沉没两个小时后，Cunar客机RMS Calpasina抵达并带来了大约705名幸存者。
这场灾难遭到全世界的震惊和愤怒，因为巨大的生命损失以及导致灾难的监管和操作失败。英国和美国的公众调查导致了海上安全的重大改善。他们最重要的遗产之一是1914年《国际海上人命安全公约》（SOLAS）的建立，该公约至今仍管理着海上安全。此外，世界各地还通过了几项新的无线法规，以努力从无线通信中的许多失误中吸取教训，这些失误本可以节省更多的乘客。
泰坦尼克号的沉船是在1985年（70年后）发现的，目前仍在海底。这艘船被分成两半，在12415英尺（3784米）深处逐渐崩解。数以千计的文物被回收并陈列在世界各地的博物馆里。《泰坦尼克号》已成为历史上最著名的船只之一，她的记忆被许多流行文化作品所保存，包括书籍、民歌、电影、展览和纪念品。
泰坦尼克号是世界上第二大沉船，仅次于她的妹妹HMHS Brinnic，有史以来最大的沉船，尽管她保持着最大沉船的记录，但实际上由于大不列颠号在沉船时被用作医院船只而作为班轮服务。沉没的最后一个幸存者，米莉维娜·迪恩，在两个月大的时候，2009岁去世，享年97岁。

英文：
April 14, 1912, a calm night, not even a bit of wind. If there were any, the crew would find the waves lapping at the tip of the iceberg. The Titanic was traveling at an extreme speed of 22.3 knots across the dark, icy surface of the ocean. Captain Smith ordered the watchman to observe carefully after receiving reports of ice from many ships nearby.
It was a warm winter, and the icebergs were farther south than usual. But the crew of the Titanic could not find the binoculars (the only binoculars were locked in the cabinet by the second officer, who did not end up on board), and the watchmen had to watch them with the naked eye.
It was 23 o 'clock and that man Frederick fry, who was found to survive, found a dark photo of a "two table" at a distance which quickly became high. He knocks three off the bridge and grabs the phone. "there's an iceberg right ahead!" . The six people who answered the phone, moody, informed the one next to murdoch.
Murdoch immediately ordered the bell to be fired: "all engines slow down! !! Reverse propeller no. 3. It was only 37 seconds before the lookout spotted the iceberg hitting the ship's starboard side.The first command was proved to be a fatal error. Just 37 seconds later, the Titanic was too big and moving too fast to stop and hit the iceberg.

1912年4月14日，一个平静的夜晚，没有一丝风。如果有的话，船员们会发现海浪拍打着冰山一角。泰坦尼克号以22.3节的极快速度穿过黑暗冰冷的海面。史密斯船长接到附近许多船只的冰块报告后，命令守望者仔细观察。
这是一个温暖的冬天，冰山比平常南漂更远。但泰坦尼克号上的船员找不到双筒望远镜，英文唯一的双筒望远镜是由第二名警官锁在柜子里的，而那位保管柜子钥匙的二副最后并没有上船，值班人员不得不用肉眼观察。
当时是23点40分，瞭望员弗雷德里克·弗利特发现在远处有一张“两张桌子”的深色照片，照片很快就变高了。他从桥上敲了三下，抢过了电话。“前面有一座冰山!”。接电话的六副穆迪，通知了旁边的人默多克。
默多克立即下令开火:“所有引擎减速!”，螺旋桨反向。仅仅过了37秒，瞭望员就发现冰山撞到了船的右舷。大副随即下令左满舵、全船推进器紧急倒退二个指令。后来证实第一个命令是一个致命的错误，就在他下令37秒后，泰坦尼克号因为太大，速度太快，无法停下来而撞上冰山。

中文剧情：
为了寻找1912年在大西洋沉没的泰坦尼克号和船上的珍贵财宝－价值连城的“海洋之心”，寻宝探险家布洛克从沉船上打捞起一个锈迹斑斑的保险柜，不料其中只有一幅保存完好的素描－一位佩戴着钻石项链的年轻女子。这则电视新闻引起了一位百岁老妇人的注意,老人激动不已，随即乘直升飞机赶到布洛克的打捞船上。原来她名叫罗丝道森，正是画像上的女子。
看着画像，往事一幕幕重新浮现在老人的眼前：1912年4月12日，准备首航的泰坦尼克号停泊在港口，码头上人山人海，争相目睹人类有史以来最庞大、最豪华的轮船。罗丝，一位美丽漂亮而又不乏气质的贵族小姐与她的母亲及未婚夫－钢铁大王之子卡尔霍利一同登上了头等舱。与此同时，影片的另一位主人公－年轻的流浪画家杰克道森靠赌博幸运地赢到了三等舱的船票，高喊着“我们是世界上最幸运...”的他在最后一刻登上了巨轮。泰坦尼克号启航了，早春的大西洋上风和日丽，碧波万里，杰克和他的伙伴站在船头眺望前方，高声欢呼，兴奋不已，仿佛此时世界已属于他们。
罗丝在上层社会的交际圈中生活，早已厌倦了贵族们的无聊谈话，感觉自己无异于笼中之鸟，她愁眉不展地来到甲板上眺望远方，排遣愁情。杰克一看到罗丝，就被她的气质所深深吸引。夜幕降临，又一场灯红酒绿之后，罗丝对未来和婚姻感到万分无奈；她冲向甲板，试图跳入大海结束一生。杰克及时发现并且在关键时刻以自己的真诚和独到的幽默说服了罗丝。尽管卡尔很不情愿，但为答谢杰克的救妻之恩，他只好邀请杰克到头等舱里进餐。卡尔本想借机寒碜杰克一番，没想到杰克在餐桌前的坦诚之言竟博得满堂喝彩。杰克和罗丝两人从此相识并开始了解对方，罗丝向杰克吐露心中郁闷："我觉得这一生不外如此，就象已经活了一辈子似的。无数的宴会、舞会、游艇赛、马球赛，能接触到的都是思想狭隘、有口无心的人。我感觉就象站在悬崖边，没人拉我回来，没人关心，甚至无人理会。”在杰克的开导和陪伴下，罗丝找回了失去已久的快乐，灿烂的笑容终于重新洋溢在她的脸庞。
罗丝的未婚夫卡尔发现了杰克和罗丝的来往之后，心中十分不快，他送给罗丝一条价值连城的钻石项链“海洋之心”，并对她表白了自己的心迹意图博得罗丝的欢心。然而在罗丝的眼里，卡尔只是一个十足的势利小人，她从心底里不愿嫁给他。可是在母亲与未婚夫的压力之下，罗丝不得不有意回避杰克的感情，可正因为这样罗丝才意识到自己已经深深的爱上了杰克。
从相知到相爱，虽然只是短短几天时间，罗丝和杰克已经无法分开。在卧室中，罗丝戴上了“海洋之心”，由杰克绘出了那张令她永生难忘的画像。罗丝决定无视家庭和礼数的压力在泰坦尼克号靠岸后与杰克一起生活，幸福似乎距离这对情侣仅咫尺之遥。
白星航运公司经理布鲁斯伊斯梅为了让泰坦尼克号创造横跨大西洋的最快纪录，不顾潜在的冰山威胁暗示船长史密斯提高船速。14日夜晚，海面出奇的平静，泰坦尼克号仍然全速行驶。了望台发现正前方的冰山后立刻通知了驾驶舱和大副，可是惯性极大的轮船已来不及躲避, 船身右侧被冰山割裂，六个舱室进水。号称永不沉没的泰坦尼克号将在两小时内沉没。而此时船上的救生艇只够一半乘客使用，船上陷入一片恐慌。
不料，这时杰克却被霍利以偷窃钻石之名栽赃陷害，并被关在下层船舱。不明真相的罗丝随众人一起在甲板上等候救生艇，可她终究还是相信杰克是无辜的。罗丝不顾一切回到空无一人的船舱寻找杰克，并在紧要关头找来救生斧救出他。两人来到甲板，罗丝在杰克的劝说下上了救生艇。救生艇徐徐放下，罗丝神情恍惚，突然她放弃了也许是最后的逃生机会跳回泰坦尼克号，这对情侣紧紧地拥抱在一起。
“梦幻之船”泰坦尼克号开始缓缓下沉，一幕悲剧开始上演。漆黑的海洋和天空连成一片，无情的吞噬着绝望的乘客。杰克带着罗丝跑到船尾，爬上栏杆（也就是他们爱情开始的地方）坚持到最后，直到泰坦尼克号沉没。两人全力挣扎出巨大的漩涡之后，杰克将罗丝推上一块漂浮木板，自己却浸泡在冰冷的海水中。
几个小时之后，救援船返回救起了奄奄一息的罗丝，而此时早已冻僵的杰克却被冰海无情的吞没。罗丝信守对杰克许下的诺言，勇敢地活着。
八十四年后，罗丝又来到泰坦尼克号沉没的地方，将“海洋之心”抛入海中，以告杰克在天之灵……
