Hi Again i also forgot to mention the width which was 92 feet 6 inches and the Captain as i'm sure by now you know was Edward J Smith

J. Bruce Ismay was managing director of White Star Lines, but the line was owned by J.P.Morgan.
J.P.Morgan was one of the world's richest men, who made most of his money in railroads, and was an American.
You can say that Titanic was a British flagged ship, but owned by American intrests.
Jim :pint:

Does that also clarify why an american company gained insalvor posession of the artifacts and that no British company concerned the artificats?

On salvage rights, I think it was just that an American company applied for salvage rights and had the ability to reach the wreck. :pint:

The 23 knots speed gives lie to the stories about her trying for a speed record.
Mauretania held the Blue Riband for a 1909 crossing at (I believe) 36 knots.a speed Titanic with her reciprocating engines did not have a prayer of approaching. (Mauretania was turbine powered)
Jim :pint:

titanic wasnt built to break records. she was a passenger ship.

Actually the passenger ships of the Cunard Line were known for thier speed, such as Mauretania.
White Star Line was known for style and service.
Some accusations were leveled at Titanic's Captain that he was going for a record on the Atlantic run, but she was not capable of bettering the existing time for a passenger steamer on that run.
Jim :pint:

Actually the records only says that the titanic was trying to beat its own eta by 12 hours

True!
Jim :pint:

Be that as it may it wasn't Captain Smith's fault. It was by the orders of J. Bruce Ismay that he increased his speed, and lit the last four boilers in the boiler room. Ismay was out to obliterate the Cunard Line's business, and shatter Atlantic speed records, by beating the estimated arrival time to New York City. I'm not sure about this one, correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Captain Smith alter the ship's course at one point in time during the voyage?
