In what city was the Titanic built?

The Titanic was built in Belfast. Harland and Wolff constructed the ship at its Queen's Island shipyard in Belfast Harbour, in what is now known as Belfast's Titanic Quarter.

Titanic was one of three Olympic-class ocean liners planned for the White Star Line. Its keel was laid down on 22 March 1909, and the ship was launched on 31 May 1911. After launch, workers fitted out the enormous vessel with engines, boilers, interiors, electrical systems and passenger facilities before it was completed in April 1912.

Belfast's shipbuilding industry was central to the project. Harland and Wolff had to create exceptionally large slipways for the Olympic-class ships, while the massive Arrol Gantry allowed cranes and workers to assemble their towering hulls. The shipyard also built Titanic's sister ship, Olympic, alongside it.

A common mix-up is Southampton, where Titanic began its maiden voyage, or Liverpool, its port of registry. Neither city was the construction site: Belfast was where the ship was designed, assembled and launched.
