Didn't Titanic have sister ships? I remember reading about 'Britannic', she ended up sinking too, but had been designated as a Hospital ship. They don't know if she hit a mine, or was torpedoed.

I am fascinated with the Titanic and its disastrous maiden voyage, I often wonder had the liner not have sunk what a fantastic museum it would have been today to visit. I remember visiting the Titanic museum in Orlando Florida some years ago and seeing a replica of the grand staircase, and original clothing, shoes, cutlery, cups and saucers and furniture that was recovered from the ocean. There will never be another ship like it.

Titanic was one of the greatest ships ever made. The clip was very informative and interesting, however I would like it to be longer. I liked though. I'd like to hear more on the passengers & those that survived the Titanic.
