Hello

I agree with Charlie. It was not necessarily the builders' fault. There was really no such thing as "quality-control" back then and the designers built Titanic believing that she would be formidable, but not unsinkable. Yes, there were flaws in her design, but there is always something wrong with the things we humans do. No matter what it is, we can find a way to mess it up. Titanic is one of those things where you can find a million and one people to blame the sinking on. I personally do not think it is right to blame it on the builders for something they certainly did not anticipate and tried to plan against. Why be ashamed? I have been a Titanic Fanatic for years and am only ashamed of a few Titanic-related things. In my humble opinion, the designers and builders did a good job in designing the Ship of Dreams. Her story was simply a “Whatever could go wrong, did go wrong.”

Bye
