RMS Titanic was an Olympic class passenger liner that collided with an iceberg and sank in 1912. The second of a trio of superliners, she and her sisters, RMS Olympic and HMHS Britannic, were designed to provide a three-ship weekly express service and dominate the transatlantic travel business for the White Star Line.[1] Built at the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast, Ireland, Titanic was the largest passenger steamship in the world at the time of her sinking. During Titanic's maiden voyage (from Southampton, England; to Cherbourg, France; Queenstown (Cobh), Ireland; then New York), she struck an iceberg at 11:40 p.m. (ship's time) on Sunday evening April 14, 1912, and sank two hours and forty minutes later, after breaking into two pieces, at 2:20 a.m. Monday morning April 15.

I am not going to insult your intelligence by copying and pasting huge wads of information from the internet on here.
The three links below are pretty good,
Link 1 - RMS Titanic Inc is the company formed to carry out salvage and expeditions on the wreck and has some fascinating information.
Link 2 - The Titanic Historical Society
Link 3 - Brittanica Encyclopedia - this is fantastic - a special on-line presentation by the famous encyclopedia on the Titanic (don't miss this !)

It had two sister ships which also eventually sank later, the Olympic, and the Brittanic I think. A story was written before the event about a ship called the Titan that suffers the same fate as the Titanic.

It was a big ship.
It hit an iceberg.
It sank.
They made a film about it.
OK, sorry. It was nearly 300 yards in length and was designed to be fast fot its size.
It sank on its maiden voyage in April 1912.
It's distress message was one of the first using SOS as the morse code message.
A ship called the Californian was nearby but stayed immobile whilst the Carpathian came from hundreds of miles away to rescue survivors.
