Luxury was not the only thing that made the Titanic a remarkable ship. Its construction was just as spectacular, especially considering that it was built in 1912. At 882 feet long and more than 100 feet tall, the steam-powered ship was the largest human-made moving object in the world at the time. Its design included sixteen watertight compartments that could be sealed automatically from the bridge in the event of a leak. The Titanic could stay afloat as long as no more than four compartments filled with water. This was some forward-thinking technology in the early 1900s, and it was worlds better than the easily damaged wooden ships of the past.
