What was the length of the Titanic in feet?

The Titanic was 882 feet 9 inches long, or about 269.06 metres.

That measurement was the ship’s overall length, stretching from the forward end of the bow to the stern. It made the Titanic one of the largest moving objects ever built when she entered service in 1912. Her maximum breadth was 92 feet 6 inches, giving the ship a broad, powerful profile rather than the narrow proportions of a modern high-speed vessel.

Some sources list shorter figures because naval architects used several different length measurements. Length between perpendiculars, for example, excluded parts of the bow and stern overhangs and was roughly 852 feet 6 inches in the ship’s registered dimensions. The 882-foot-9-inch figure is the familiar overall length used in general descriptions of the Titanic.

The Titanic was a member of the Olympic class, whose ships were built to broadly similar dimensions. Despite her enormous size for the period, modern cruise ships are substantially longer and carry far more passengers, making the Titanic’s record primarily a historical comparison.
