#captain Exactly a month now before Titanic’s journey begins, I cannot wait to see her completed and on the ocean!

#crew I can’t believe the length of A Deck, the Promenade Deck – 546ft from one end to the other. Incredible.

#officer What a marvellous gymnasium we have on board, hopefully someone will make use of it but it seems like more of a gimmick…

Since the Titanic didn't set sail until April 10, 1912, current tweets are simply facts about the vessel. However, once the ship sets sail, expect action-filled tweets leading up the Titanic's infamous encounter with an iceberg.

Further commemorating the Titanic's 100th anniversary, The History Press will also be launching an iPad app based on its research.  The app will contain background information about the Titanic including blueprints, photos and biographies.
