What was the height of Titanic from keel to top of funnels?

Titanic stood 175 feet from its keel to the tops of its funnels. That measurement includes the ship’s underwater depth and the towering superstructure above the water, making it a useful way to convey the liner’s enormous vertical scale.

Almost 35 feet of that height was below the waterline when Titanic was afloat. The waterline-to-Boat Deck distance was about 60 feet, while the keel-to-bridge height was approximately 104 feet. These different measurements sometimes cause confusion when sources give different figures for Titanic’s “height.”

The 175-foot figure measures to the funnels, not merely to the bridge or the Boat Deck. Titanic was also 882 feet 9 inches long and about 92 feet wide. Its four funnels helped create its unmistakable profile, although the fourth funnel was primarily a ventilation feature rather than an essential exhaust stack.

The ship’s great size contributed to its fame before the disaster, but size alone could not make it unsinkable. After the iceberg collision, flooding spread through more compartments than the design could tolerate, and Titanic sank on 15 April 1912.
