*Rolls eyes* Yeah, they collide with an iceburg an kill 1,500 people. They have to be worried about their image. If they had just hit it head on, maybe they wouldn't have had as many passengers taking their ships, but with a whole ship of people dying, I highly doubt that anyone was taking White Star Lines for awhile.

Strange to think then that the Olympic even after the disaster was still seen as the way to travel for many many years

well, since the Olympic was always liked better the thought was probably like "oh it's a pity that the Titanic sunk. you know, darling? why don't we take a ride on the magnificent Olympic?" ppl were always more interested in the Olympic. probably not everyone even knew that they were twin sisters

Well a lot wold have, Olympic was given a lot of publicity by the press, so to was Titanic after the disaster, so alot of people would know.

yeah, but the Titanic was a major accident. how many luxury ships run into iceburgs and sink with a death toll of 1500

none but what is your point. Olympic was a famous ship regardless of her sisters fate

sorry. I forgot to finish my sentace. ppl probly thought that the odds were low enough that the Olympic would sink too that the probly didn't care

Yea...she would have stayed afloat if she had hit it head on. It would have only damaged the first couple compartments and left a few dents but nothing serious. It wouldn't have killed anybody and she would have been able to get to New York and they could have fixed her there. :-)

And murdoch would face an enquiry after totaling white stars new flag ship liner

I think that it would of flooded two of the five flood compartments.And the bow would of leand forward.But Ithink it would of made it to New York City.
