101 Years Ago

Actually, no. It's design was as good as any of the era and well above what was considered to be adequate. It's construction was also well above standard and probably as good as any. It's silly to say she would not meet 2010 Safety of Life at Sea standards and therefore a poor design for her time.

As it happens, she probably would have survived the damage that sank the 2006 Costia Concordia last year.

But very bad luck indeed.

I don't know, considering that the Titanic was one of two ships of that design. It's sister ship was called the Britannic. You know what happened to it? It sank. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMHS_Britannic
