The Titanic was far and away the largest and finest vessel ever built,
excepting only her sister-ship, the Olympic. Her dimensions were: Length,
882 1/2 feet; Beam, 92 feet, Depth (from keel to tops of funnels), 175 feet

passengers, besides a crew of 890.}

A passenger on the Carpathia said there was no wonder

he was being quieted with opiates on orders of the ship's
doctor.
