One thing for Andrews, Harland and Wolff never claimed that the ship was unsinkable. Nor do I recall that the White Star Line did either. But when Titanic was dubbed unsinkable in the papers, nobody at White Star made any statements to the contrary and, to a certain extent, allowed the notion to be perpetuated. Wasn't it "The Shipbuilder" magazine that first labeled the ships as "practically unsinkable" in its article on the Olympics? And from there, the word "practically" was dropped? |
