Basically, what were all the locations of the Titanic?

The RMS Titanic leaving Belfast for sea trials, 2 April 1912

The RMS Titanic, a British Olympic-class ocean liner, became famous as the largest ocean liner built in her day, and also for sinking on her maiden voyage in 1912 with a huge loss of life.[2] The second of a trio of superliners,[3] the Titanic and her sisters were designed to provide a three-ship weekly express service and to dominate the transatlantic travel business for the White Star Line.[4] The Titanic, and her sister ship, the Olympic, were introduced to the world in a New York Times article on 23 April 1908, almost four years before the sinking.[5]

THIS IS BASICALLY ALL THE LOCATIONS UNTIL IT SUNKED.
Built at the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast, Ireland,[6] the Titanic was the largest passenger steamship in the world at the time of her sinking.[7] During the Titanic's maiden voyage (from Southampton, England[8] to Cherbourg, France,[9] then on to Queenstown (Cobh), Ireland[10] and finally New York City), she struck an iceberg at 23:40 (ship's time) on Sunday 14 April 1912, sinking two hours and forty minutes later at 02:20 on Monday 15 April,[11] having broken into two pieces at the aft expansion joint.[12]

International Ice Patrol
Main article: International Ice Patrol
The Titanic disaster led to the convening of the first International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) in London, on 12 November 1913. On 30 January 1914, a treaty was signed by the conference that resulted in the formation and international funding of the International Ice Patrol, an agency of the United States Coast Guard that to the present day monitors and reports on the location of North Atlantic Ocean icebergs that could pose a threat to transatlantic sea lane traffic. It was also agreed in the new regulations that all passenger vessels would have sufficient lifeboats for everyone on board, that appropriate safety drills would be conducted, and that radio communications on passenger ships would be operated 24 hours a day along with a secondary power supply, so as not to miss distress calls. In addition, it was agreed that the firing of red rockets from a ship must be interpreted as a distress signal (red rockets launched from the Titanic prior to sinking were mistaken by nearby vessels as celebratory fireworks, delaying rescue). This treaty was scheduled to go into effect on 1 July 1915, but was upstaged by World War I.
