This is my first map so I hope you all like it. This build took a while do.
(This ship is not fully 1/1 scale, it is somewhere 1.029)
this build is helped a bit by some friends of mine.
More in the future!

RMS Titanic was a British passenger liner of White Star Line that sank in the North Atlantic Ocean in April of 1912 after the ship struck an iceberg during her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City. Of the 2,224 passengers and crew aboard, 1,514 died, making it one of modern history's deadliest peacetime marine disasters. Titanic was the largest ship afloat at the time she entered service and was the second of three Olympic-Class ocean liners operated and owned by the White Star Line, being built at the Harland and Wolff shipyard. Thomas Andrews, chief naval architect of the shipyard at the time, died in the disaster. Titanic was under the command of Capt. Edward Smith, who also went down with the ship. The ocean liner carried some of the wealthiest people in the world, as well as hundreds of emigrants from Great Britain and Ireland, Scandinavia and elsewhere throughout Europe who was seeking a new life in the United States. The first-class accommodation was designed to be the pinnacle of comfort and luxury, with an on-board gymnasium, swimming pool, libraries, high-class restaurants, and opulent cabins. A high-powered radiotelegraph transmitter was available for sending passenger "marconigrams" and for the ship's operational use. Although Titanic had advanced safety features such as watertight compartments and remotely activated watertight doors, it only carried enough lifeboats for 1,178 people—about half the number on board, and one-third of her total capacity—due to outdated maritime safety regulations. The ship carried 16 lifeboat davits which could lower three lifeboats each, for a total of 48 boats. However, Titanic carried only a total of 20 lifeboats, four of which were collapsible and proved hard to launch during the sinking. Artist's conception of the Titanic at Queenstown, Ireland. After leaving Southampton on 10 April 1912, Titanic called at Cherbourg, France and Queenstown (now Cobh), Ireland, before heading west to New York. On 14 April, four days into the crossing, about 375 miles (600 km) south of Newfoundland, she hit an iceberg at 11:40 p.m. ship's time. The collision caused the hull plates to buckle inwards along her starboard (right) side and opened five of her sixteen watertight compartments to the sea; she could only survive four compartments flooded from the bow. Meanwhile, passengers and some crew members were evacuated in lifeboats, many of which were launched only partially loaded. A disproportionate number of men have been left aboard because of a "women and children first" protocol for loading lifeboats. At 2:20 a.m., she broke apart and foundered with well over one thousand people still aboard. Just under two hours after Titanic sank, the Cunard liner RMS Carpathia arrived and brought aboard an estimated 705 survivors.
