A building which was a ship

From a preposterous idea hatched by two visionaries to the glorious day she set sail five years later, TITANIC: GENESIS OF A GIANT chronicles the virtually untold story of the supersize steamship’s construction. And reveals how 15,000 men toiled day and night in life-threatening conditions to create a state-of-the-art floating city. A revolution on the high seas, Titanic pushed the boundaries of civilization. And to pull off the biggest-ever feat of naval engineering, the White Star Line created a colossal construction site unlike anything the industrialized world had ever seen. Chronicling every stage of construction, TITANIC: GENESIS OF A GIANT bears witness to this epic feat of engineering. Based on original blue prints and never-before-seen archives, cutting-edge special effects bring these naval wonders back to life on screen. We witness them taking shape-and head below decks where their technological marvels are exposed.

In France, an elite team of engineers race to build one of the largest and most technologically advanced cruise ships in the world. Battling strict deadlines, workers must cut and bend 42,000 tonnes of steel and install a pair of 300-tonne tanks.
