相比之下，由白星航运公司于近百年前建造的、当时史上最大的蒸汽机船——“泰坦尼克号”只有269米长，而其体积尚不足今日这些巨兽的五分之一。

By contrast, the Titanic, built by White Star Line nearly a century ago and at the time the largest steam ship ever, measured 269 metres and was less than a fifth of the size of today's behemoths.

该船属于白星航运公司（White Star line），但是当该公司出售给卡纳德公司（Cunard）时，泰坦尼克号不属于销售的一部分，这是由于当时它已是艘沉船，而且被认为无法重新获得。

The ship belonged to the White Star line but when that company was sold to Cunard the Titanic was not part of the sale because it was already a wreck and considered unrecoverable.
