Ships and Boats RMS Titanic sea trials
Titanic beginning a day of sea trials, April 2, 1912. (NARA, RG 306, Records of the U.S. Information Agency)
"Not even God himself could sink this ship."
--Employee of the White Star Line, at the launch of the Titanic, May 31, 1911
From U.S. National Archives and Records Administration: The vast majority of the digital images in the Archival Research Catalog (ARC) are in the public domain. Therefore, no written permission is required to use them. We would appreciate your crediting the National Archives and Records Administration as the original source. Publication of Photographs Furnished by Still Pictures, It is important to note that all of the digital images that are available on our website (THIS IMAGE) are in the public domain.
When the British ship Titanic steamed out of Southampton bound for New York on April 10, 1912, it was the largest and most sumptuous luxury liner that had ever sailed. It was a monument to the promise of technology and to Victorian elegance, with magnificent oriental carpets and crystal chandeliers. It was thought to be unsinkable.
Confidence was so high that the owners and builders rejected plans calling for as many as 64 lifeboats. Although the number of lifeboats on the Titanic (20) exceeded government standards, the boats would only accommodate about half of the 2,228 people aboard. In one of history's great ironies, the Titanic sank on its maiden voyage, after colliding with an iceberg off the banks of Newfoundland. More than 1,500 people died in the accident.
RMS Titanic departing Southampton on April 10, 1912. Author: F.G.O. Stuart (1843-1923)

USS Missouri (BB-63) in 1950-55, During these years, Missouri was part of the Atlantic Fleet. However, she made two Korean War combat tours, one in 1950-51 and another in 1952-53, serving as Seventh Fleet flagship on both occasions and providing major caliber gunfire support to United Nations forces. She was also employed as a training ship for Naval Academy Midshipmen, carrying them on a number of visits to European ports.
In August 1954, Missouri was transferred to the Pacific Coast to be inactivated. She decommissioned on 26 February 1955 at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, Bremerton, Washington, where she remained in reserve for the next three decades.
