The Olympic was built in the same shipyard and had no problems.

It was built by Protestants in Belfast.

Yeah...right

That's a Cruise Ship you retard. He was obviously talking about Ocean Liners, ships that served actual purposes other than moving a bunch of fat boomers around in a circle

>>17852164
the low class workers assembling the thing were catholic serfs

>>17852879
ah no wonder it broken in half when the catholic's faith was tested

Would be Ellis Islanders BTFOing themselves is hilarious when you think about it

neat, lets see the soviets top that! soviets?

The low class workers assembling it were Protestants from Belfast. The entire Harland and Wolfe shipyard was Protestants and they kept it Protestant. They cursed the Pope whilst building it and brought a curse upon their works and the ship.

It can be used as an ocean liner if they wanted

A very inefficient and impractical Ocean Liner since most ports are not equipped to handle ships of her displacement and most of her hull is taken up by shit like waterparks and open bars

The truth was that the Titanic was actually well built for her time. The best steel they could produce was used, the safety standards were above the norms required at the time by carrying more boats than mandated and was crewed by fairly competent sailors, technicians and officers. Many died at their stations doing everything they could with the electricians doing anything to keep the lights on as long as possible as an example.

The real tragedy is that the ship struck the iceberg in the worst way imaginable; a full glancing blow, tearing up the hull over a significant distance. A lesser glancing blow or a head-on collision would've meant she was going to stay afloat and limp into New York's harbour.

Well, if your going to take a slow boat to china you might as well have fun along the way
