In the early 1900s, the transatlantic passenger trade was a fiercely competitive and profitable industry. The White Star Line, seeking to outdo its rival Cunard, which had focused on speed, decided to focus on luxury and size.

The ship was designed by the Belfast firm of Harland and Wolff, and construction of the Titanic began in March 1909.
