Which shipbuilding company built Titanic?

Which shipbuilding company built Titanic? Harland and Wolff built Titanic in Belfast, Ireland (now Northern Ireland). The company had a long-standing relationship with the White Star Line, Titanic’s owner, and constructed the ship at its Queen’s Island yard in Belfast Harbour.

Titanic was the second of three Olympic-class ocean liners, built alongside her sister ship Olympic. Her keel was laid down on 22 March 1909, using the yard’s enormous Arrol Gantry, which had been built specifically to handle vessels of this unprecedented size. Titanic was assigned yard number 401.

Harland and Wolff did not operate the ship after construction; the White Star Line owned and operated her. That distinction causes a common mix-up: Harland and Wolff was the builder, while White Star Line was the shipping company responsible for the passenger service. Titanic was launched in 1911, completed in 1912, and sank during her maiden voyage after striking an iceberg.
