Encyclopedia Titanica is an online reference work containing extensive and constantly updated information on the RMS Titanic.[1] The website, a nonprofit endeavor, is a database of passenger and crew biographies, deck plans, and articles submitted by historians or Titanic enthusiasts. In 1999, The New York Times noted that the site "may be the most comprehensive Titanic site", based on its content including passenger lists and ship plans.[2] The Chicago Tribune called it "a marvelously detailed Internet site."[3]
