it wasn't...our modern ships dwarf the titanic! We always hear it was the biggest ship ever made, but that was nearly a hundred years ago.

here's an interesting link that provides perspective:

It was probably the biggest ship up to that time.

The Titanic had a sister ship called the Britanica. It was sunk near Greece in 1916 during WW2. The British were supposed to be sending medical supplies on it so it was protected by international law. Some German spies on the ship found out the British were actually cheating and sending some ammunition which meant all bets for clearance were off. The German spies set up bombs which sank the ship. Thus sadly ended the life of Titanic's sister ship. :(
