Does anyone recall lifeboat drills on Titanic? Unsinkable is still a myth....

They only would have had to have the drills for half the passengers at any rate.

The Titanic is pretty small compared to most cruise ships today. It was 100 years ago after all. The CC is three times the size of the Titanic in terms of weight. Even if the Titanic hadn't sank it would have lost the title of largest ship in the world within a few months.

But not as quick as it lost the title of "Unsinkable".

The Titanic had two sister ships: the Britanic and the Olympic, The Olympic Had a reasonably long life, finally broken up
and scrapped in 1935, the last of the trio of White Star luxury liners. The Britanic had struck a mine in 1916 and sank.
