Titanic was 882 feet 9 inches (269.06 m) long with a maximum breadth of 92 feet 6 inches (28.19 m).

Her total height, measured from the base of the keel to the top of the bridge, was 104 feet (32 m).

she displaced 52,310 tons.[7] All three of the Olympic-class ships had ten decks (excluding the top of
