Default Re: Naming your V20

Did you know that three proposed White Star ships i know the Titanic and Olympic were built. But they had plans on three ships originally. The third was Gigantic. After the Titanic sank they rename the Gigantic to the Brittanic. All 3 sank. The First built was Olympic and on it's return trip to Belfast it was struck in the Harbor and sank. Since the Olympic was already booked for trips and the Titanic wasn't but it was completed they renamed the original Titanic to Olympic and was used twice till she sank as well off NY. The once sank Olympic was repaired and named Titanic so as we all know she sank as well. So as stated above the third sister ship named Gigantic. After the Titanic sank they rename the Gigantic to the Brittanic. It sank as well. So there's a story a 3 sister ships renamed and all sank some twice under 2 different names. Yeah all the names come fom greek mytholigy. The Olympians the Titans and the Giants it is safe to assume that was the original name but it can't be proven. Am sure it had it's name changed before Titanic went down but to my knowledge the name was changed due to the fact it was no longer the biggest ship in the world at her launch.
