When The Titanic Was Finished
May 31, 1911 The unfinished Titanic is lathered up with soap and pushed into the water for "fitting out." Fitting out is the installation of all the extras, some on the exterior, like the smokestacks and the propellers, and a lot on the inside, like the electrical systems, wall coverings, and furniture. http://history1900s.about.com/od/1910s/a/titanictimeline.htm
