R M S T I TA N I C RMS Titanic 1912 - 2012 In April 1912, RMS Titanic struck an iceberg on her maiden voyage from Southampton, England, to New York City, resulting in the deaths of 1,517 people. The liner, the largest passenger steamship in the world at the time, was owned by the White Star Line and had been constructed at the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast, Ireland, UK. Titanic was designed by experienced engineers, using some of the most advanced technologies and extensive safety features of the time and was believed to be unsinkable. Her length overall was 269.1m, the moulded breadth 28m, the tonnage 46,328GRT, and the height, from the water line to the boat deck, 18m. She was equipped with two reciprocating fourcylinder, triple-expansion steam engines and one low-pressure Parsons turbine, each driving a propeller. There were 29 boilers fired by 159 coal burning furnaces and the liner had a top speed of 23 knots (43 km/h). RMS Titanic left Southampton on 10 April and after stops at Cherbourg and Queenstown proceeded to set a course to New York. There were 2,240 people on board.

AB O U T T HE AR T IS T Kevin Walsh was born in Castleford, in the heart of the industrial West Riding of Yorkshire, the same town which produced the world-famous sculptor Henry Moore. After studying illustration at the Wakefield College of Art, Kevin developed an early reputation, initially for his aircraft paintings. In recent years, he has become increasingly known for a much wider variety of subject matter. Landscapes, city life and transport in bygone days all figure prominently among his works. He travels many miles for research and spends countless hours sketching, before committing the final composition to canvas. Accurate technical and historical detail, combined with an ability to capture the warmth and atmosphere of times gone by are the hallmarks of this remarkably accomplished artist. Kevin’s original oil paintings are represented in many important collections worldwide.
