Historical note: In the days of sail, ships took weeks, if not months, to travel between continents, and passengers were as likely to die from disease as they were to be shipwrecked or drowned. The development of large, fast, and relatively safe steamships during the mid-1800s transformed travel by sea, allowing people to cross the ocean faster and more cheaply than ever before. Shipyards built bigger and faster passenger ships -- now called liners, and after the shipping lines they were built for -- and furnished them in great luxury to attract high-paying, first-class passengers. It was into this competitive world that the Titanic was launched.
