[quote:52d99bb144="rose89"] in the book, titan was the same as titanic and they were almost identical in faith and looks except that the titan was fictional. [/quote:52d99bb144]
The whole Titan novella is interesting. Some have argued that many a forward-looking commentator might have envisaged what future ships might have been like. I've no idea if there was a real ship with that name. Best, Mark. |

[quote:672e524fe3="I'maTitanicluvr"]How come it seems that every boat made buy White Star Line in the early 1900's sinks on a voyage? For example, Britanica, Olympic, and Titanic sank on a voyage. Also the Titan sank on it's madien voyage and Titanic did too. Isn't that a little strange? :?[/quote:672e524fe3]
Hi! Olympic didn't sink. Britannic's name was Britannic, NOT 'Britannica.' White Star's 'Big Four' lasted until 1928-34. White Star's Megantic lasted until 1933 or so. IMHO, it just seems like many WSL ships sank. Let's face it, Californian and Carpathia sank in 1915 and 1918 respectively. As did many of the ships of the time, not merely WSL vessels. Best regards, Mark. |
