I’ve always heard that the Titanic was advertised as “unsinkable.” But I ran across an article the other day that indicated that the story of the ship that was billed as unsinkable going down on her maiden voyage isn’t exactly true.
The White Star Line never advertised that the Titanic — or her sister ship Olympic — were unsinkable. They promoted the ships by claiming that the two ships were the “largest and finest steamers in the world.” Apparently the supposed advertising of the Titanic as unsinkable was the work of a reporter after the Titanic sank. I guess a story like that sold more newspapers…..
