The Collison between the [i:cc3d4615c7]New York[/i:cc3d4615c7] and [i:cc3d4615c7]Titanic[/i:cc3d4615c7], had the ships actually collided, was reckoned to be about as bad as the [i:cc3d4615c7]S.S.Hawke[/i:cc3d4615c7] and the [i:cc3d4615c7]Olympic[/i:cc3d4615c7] the previous year - and that one had [i:cc3d4615c7]Olympic[/i:cc3d4615c7] going back to Belfast for repairs. On the other hand, had the two collided, I find it possible that [i:cc3d4615c7]Titanic[/i:cc3d4615c7] would never hit that iceberg - if I recall correctly, it was three months before [i:cc3d4615c7]Olympic[/i:cc3d4615c7] made it back into service.

[quote:f3c4afb9f8="Funkky"][color=blue:f3c4afb9f8]Have you got any information about the bad luck of the titanic?

Thanks[/color:f3c4afb9f8][/quote:f3c4afb9f8]

I believe that there was a cat on the ship [they were very common on ships to control mice and rats that were found on ships back then] but before Titanic sailed the cat walked off the ship which was considered a bad omen.
