Two build those two ships side by side, in those days was an amazing acheivment. To match it with todays technology we would need to build 6 QM2 s just for it to be on a par.
Britannic was built on the Olympic platform after Olympic was launched, but it is sad she was scrapped. |

There was not much wrong with her, no need for a repair, problem was she was an old ship, and it was running up maintenence costs, and attracting passengers was getting hard. She was scrapped during the depresion, so keeping her was a difficult task.

repairing or building a new ship is cheaper. Ships that didn't sink are even sold for scrap in india/bangladesh/pakistan for 1/100th of the new value 25 years earlier when it was commissioned.
Towing up a ship could be worth it if it were in shallow water and accessible to scrap it; also on the condition if there is steel shortage and prices rose unexpectedly. |
