In 1912, the cost to build the Titanic was $7.5 million. In today's economy, that is equivalent to a cost of $400 million. Construction of the Titanic began March 31, 1909.
Production started in March of 1909 for The Titanic. She was built by Harland and Wolfe, a Irish ship building company based in Belfast, for the White Star Line.  In business terms, the Titanic was built by the White Star Line to  compete with the rival Cunard Line's newest ships, the Mauretania  and the Lusitania (the latter also met an untimely end in 1915).
