Re: A Century Later and The Titanic Hasn't Lost its Grip on Us
Despite being designed in England, built in Ireland, and flying the Union Jack, the Titanic was actually owned by an American conglomerate, the International Mercantile Marine, owned by J. P. Morgan.
And nobody associated with the White Star Line ever used the word "unsinkable." It first appeared in an article in the magazine "The Shipbuilder," which described the Titanic as "practically unsinkable." Somewhere along the line the "practically" disappeared.
