If I see one more person comparing that ACME shitty homemade "sub" to the RMS Titanic I will genuinely murder somebody. Especially if you're taking the movie as truth (lovely movie, but it is innacurate). Know why?

Because that millionaire wacko didn't give a shit, but the poor workers that built the three Olympic class sisters? Those men did their damn best and actually gave a shit even thought of sailing there themselves, and comparing that shit ass sub with discount materials to 3 massive, premium ships that took YEARS of planning and work is disrespectful as fuck.

Even the fucking White Star Line didn't put the passengers on danger with full intention (and knowingly charged them for it btw) because they genuinely didn't think what happened was going to happen. And I can't blame them, honestly:

Titanic's design wasn't perfect, but it was good for her time (highlighting time because 1900s class divisions and American immigration segregation laws were shit but it's not like the engineers are to blame for those) and she was made by very skilled poor workers who would show the work on Sundays to their families and were very proud of her.

She also exceeded safety regulations of her time (not the design's fault that said regulations were absolute shite), her 3rd class accommodations were the best, actually (not her fault class system and USA immigration law was shitty in the 1900s) and her and her reinforcer little twin sister HM Hospital Ship Britannic sank because of genuine bad luck (she struck a German mine meant for military ships. Her watertight doors twisted but held however the medical staff left the portholes open to air the rooms and that's what did her in).

Meanwhile, her older twin sister RMS Olympic got rammed by a military ship HMS Hawke and survived BEFORE Titanic's sinking (after which she was reinforced along with Britannic) when the design was new and at its weakest, and after she got reinforced she fucking rammed an U-boat and. kept going. She survived the war, all that shit and then instead of turning into a beautiful museum ship she was sent to the scrap yard after the Great Depression ended the White Star Line, her company.

I am, once again, emotional about the HMHS Britannic

[observer-of-the-world]

So, uhm, I know this is supposed to be a funny post and nothing more than that, but these little misunderstandings about the Titanic really bother me.

First of all, it was never actually said that the Olympic line (RMS Olympic, RMS Titanic and HMHS Britannic) was unsinkable per se, it was said that as far as engineering went they were unsinkable ("And as far as it is possible to do so, these two wonderful vessels are designed to be unsinkable").

It might not be a big difference, but it means that what they claimed was that to the best of the experts knowledge, there was nothing that could be done to make them safer than they already were, and Harland and Wolff were one of the best companies out there, and they had already gone beyond some of the safety requirements. For example, if the Titanic had crashed straight into the iceberg with her full speed, she would probably have survived the crash with no need for rescue and she probably would've been able to continue her voyage rather safely, attesting to her security.

And two, Titanic wasn't special for saying this. A lot of ships used marketing like that, so it has only become a laughing matter bc of how big Titanic's tragedy was. Carpathia's (the ship that rescued the Titanic's survivors) captain even mentions this in the official enquiry:

"380. The fact that, under these regulations, you are obliged to carry 20 lifeboats and the Titanic was only obliged to carry 20, with her additional tonnage, indicates either that these regulations were prescribed long ago -

(interposing): No, sir; it has nothing to do with that. What it has to do with is the ship itself. The ships are built nowadays to be practically unsinkable, and each ship is supposed to be a lifeboat in itself. The boats are merely supposed to be put on as a standby. The ships are supposed to be built, and the naval architects say they are, unsinkable under certain conditions. What the exact conditions are, I do not know, as to whether it is with alternate compartments full, or what it may be. That is why in our ship we carry more lifeboats, for the simple reason that we are built differently from the Titanic; differently constructed."

So Im not surprised by the missing Titantic Exploration Submersible.

But only because the White Star Line, specifically the Olympic Line (aka Titanic, Britannic and the Olympic Sister Ships) seem cursed to me.

Both the Titanic and Britannic have sunk. The Titanic hit an iceburg in the Atlantic Ocean. And the Britannic hit a mine during World War I in the Aegean Sea.

The Olympic had a collision in September 1911, but was repaired and returned to service in November 1911 until May 1934 when it had another collision with a ship, and retired in May 1935.

So with all the collisions and disasters surrounding the Olympic Class of the White Star Line, it didnt shock me when I heard the Exploration Submersible went missing.

Im curious as to what your thoughts are.

Legit, the HMHS Britannic is my roman empire. From the fact that she never got to be a passenger ship to how she shouldn't have even sank in the first place. Just her consistent bad luck. She never had the long interesting career of Olympic, and her sinking never had the tragedy of Titanics. She is just forever trapped under the shadow of her sisters stories. She was the largest of the sisters. She was supposed to the grandest and most beautiful of the sisters. And she never got to be.

Alright, I want your opinions. Entertain me if you please! 1. Do you think German liners beyond Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosser and Bremen/ Europa don't get enough recognition for all their (especially) luxury "firsts" (elevator, cover charge restaurant, winter gardens, lidos, those Vienna Cafes)? 2. What era of liner decoration is your preferential movement? And a prime example of this for you would be? 3. Conte di Savoia's Salone Colonna - Beautiful room, but in the wrong ship and they just should have gone full modern with Rex being a wonderful period piece against it? Or do you think it was right do a Lloyd's of London/Bowood House arrangement? *sorry*

1. I do think that the German liners tend to be unfairly overlooked. I think people tend to focus a bit too much on Cunard and White Star. Don't get me wrong, I adore them and their ships, but I think other lines and countries deserve some more attention. I'm particularly a fan of the Imperator class of ocean liners.

2. My favorite era would probably be the Edwardian/ pre-war stuff. My favorite is probably a tie between the Olympic, Oceanic, and Mauretania. Other examples include The Big Four, Lusitania, and the plans for what the Britannic would have looked like had she survived the war. A close second would be the art deco ships, but I'm specifically referring to the Cunarders here. I'm really not a fan of the Normandies interior design, for example. In terms of the exterior of ships, I would say my favorites are from 1930 to the mid-50s. My favorites are the MV Georgic, Bremen, the planned but unbuilt RMMV Oceanic, and SS United States. The Big U definitely has my favorite exterior. 

3. I do think it would have been nice for the Rex to contrast the Conte di Savoia (especially considering the Rex was the last ocean liner that had a clipper stern), but it's also important to remember that they were originally being built by two different companies and intended to be rivals. They became running mates purely by accident when the companies merged. I'm not sure how far along in the building process they were when the merger happened, but I wouldn't be surprised if they just didn't think it would be worth it to swap around the interior decor after installation. 

4. Why are you apologizing? I love questions like these! Thank you so much!
