[megadog103]

@Sarasdad91 Titanic had a bit of a curvy front at the "bridge" Olympic and Britannic had straight bridges;)

[MrMatbri]

it was about 16 people that died ive been a titanic buff 4 30 years so i know brittanic di dnot look the same as u say i did

[LyniixAssassin2k10]

@MrMatbri look at the comment you posted to mrwitmore, you did say they looked the same, and if your so clever, how many people did die on britannic then

[WatchdogDisciple]

@LyniixAssassin2k10 Hmm true. It still is a shame though seeing these beautiful ships decentigrate into nothing but memories as the years go by. At least we are able to salvage things like the bells and whistles ant other key components of ships.

@LyniixAssassin2k10 ididnt say thay looked the same and 1000 people didnt diie on her

[LyniixAssassin2k10]

@WatchdogDisciple you wouldnt be able to raise her for 2 reasons:

1) when she hit the sea floor, she landed on her side and the bow broke from the middle section of the ship, plus theres no saying what damage there could be on the side of the ship that you cant see

2) to raise a ship that size would be expensive and properly not worth it, plus its a grave for over 1000 people and there would be a lot of objection to raise her.

@MrMatbri you were also wrong about britannic looking the same, she was almost the same but the stern was different and life boat positions on all 3 ships were different

[MrMatbri]

you may b right on the length but not on the width or my book on the ships plans r wrong? i dont know
