On 02 April 1912, the RMS Titanic embarked on its sea trials, a crucial phase in the ship's testing process before its maiden voyage. Sea trials are conducted to assess a ship's performance, including its speed, maneuverability, and overall seaworthiness.
The Titanic's sea trials took place off the coast of Belfast, Northern Ireland, where the ship was built by the Harland and Wolff shipyard. During the trials, the ship's crew, along with representatives from the shipyard and the White Star Line, which operated the Titanic, tested various aspects of the vessel's performance.
Despite encountering some issues during the trials, the Titanic was ultimately deemed seaworthy, and its official maiden voyage commenced on 10 April 1912. However, tragically, just four days into its journey, the Titanic struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic Ocean and sank, resulting in one of the deadliest maritime disasters in history.
