The captain was Edward Smith, and left the port of Southampton (Southampton) at noon that day. , was scheduled to cross the North Atlantic, heading straight to New York, USA. When she was about to set sail, another scheduled ship, the New York, almost hit her hull due to the large volume of water moving in the water, which caused a large amount of backfill. After setting off, the Titanic first crossed the English Channel and anchored in Cherbourg, France, to receive more passengers, and then anchored in Queenstown (Queenstown), Ireland. Finally, she carried 1324 Passengers and 892 deck crew sailed to New York. The Titanic divided passengers into three classes. The third class cabin was also the cheapest on the lower deck of the ship. Most of the passengers in this class were planned to build new ones on the other side of the Atlantic. Living immigrants; the decoration and furnishings of second-class cabins and ordinary guest rooms are actually the same as first-class cabins on other ordinary ships at that time.

During the collision with the iceberg, due to a misjudgment, an emergency turn was made at high speed. As a result, the iceberg made a long crack in the bottom of the ship while turning and moving forward. Not only did the rivet under the waterline on the starboard side become damaged. It broke loose due to the impact and flooded six watertight compartments. In the end, too much water entered, causing the hull to tilt to an alarming level close to the hull's plumbness (perpendicular to the horizontal plane), and the tilt allowed water to continue pouring in. In the end, the hull could not support the weight, and half of the hull that was on the water broke off and fell, and then sank to the bottom of the sea along with 1,522 people.
