Titanic Facts

Recently I was in Belfast and went to the dry dock where the Titanic put out to sea from. In the spirit of count down to St Paddy’s Day I decided to post some Titanic facts:

It took 15,000 workers to build the ship, earning an average of $10 a week.
It would have taken 4 months of labor to get a ticket on the ship for the average worker.
It would cost almost $400 million to build the Titanic today.
