The article refers to the ship as "She" when it is, in fact, an inanimate object. If it must be anthropomorphized, no gender can, nor should be, assigned to it arbitrarily. The ship is either an "it" or a "They" 66.23.113.178 (talk) 04:23, 9 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Female pronouns for ships is maritime tradition. It's not meant as a slur. 57.135.233.22 (talk) 11:57, 9 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This argument has cropped up many times on this Talk page over the years (see the archives) - perhaps an FAQ should be added here I've just added an FAQ to the header here. Per WP:SHE4SHIPS: Ships may be referred to by either feminine pronouns ("she", "her") or neuter pronouns ("it", "its"). Either usage is acceptable, but each article should be internally consistent and exclusively employ only one style. (By way of comparison, Wikipedia also has many references to countries and cities as "she", e.g. "Britain and her allies"; "Tokyo and her sister city New York", etc.) Muzilon (talk) 23:45, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Because she was known to be more faster and not like britannic she was know to travel the world she was gonna be a war ship but not.Rms Is Also A Meaning for "Royal Mail Ship" Royal Means Female in Most Cases.

Bryson Bryson W Johnson (talk) 15:40, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not True Because Most Ships Are Refered To As that because have you ever heard someone say luxury and Royal And they dont say male but in warships they say male. Strange

Bryson Bryson W Johnson (talk) 15:42, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just you wait until ships start to transition. Especially those big burly male warships. Martinevans123 (talk) 16:03, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

NAHHHH not them bro In the next century Theres gonna be ships the size of a mountain. Bryson W Johnson (talk) 16:04, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You could be right. Martinevans123 (talk) 16:07, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Big battle ships are already retired and obsolete there are carrier strike groups now and they don't include battleships because they are big slow and bulky. 64.184.72.83 (talk) 20:05, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It should be 1,496 deaths,712 survivors, and 2,208 total passengers.

The statement is correct and well footnoted: but it doesn't seem to be noted that, following the discovery of wreck, the position is now known, and not what the enquiry accepted, so the enquiry and 'subsequent arguments' are now seen in a different light. 124.187.219.128 (talk) 07:49, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why not just get a tugboat as it was sinking and just pull it? Bryson W Johnson (talk) 16:06, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

They were in the middle of the Atlantic ocean there were no tugboats around. 64.184.72.83 (talk) 20:06, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There's a discrepancy regarding the capacity of the lifeboat davits, if I'm reading it all correctly.

From the lede: Titanic was equipped with 16 lifeboat davits, each capable of lowering three lifeboats, for a total of 48 boats.

From the Lifeboat section: Titanic had 16 sets of davits, each able to handle four lifeboats as Carlisle had planned. This gave Titanic the ability to carry up to 64 wooden lifeboats which would have been enough for 4,000 people 57.135.233.22 (talk) 17:35, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'll go ahead and fix that. Carlisle had been shot down by the British Board of Trade, so the ship could only carry up to 48 boats. Erin (SSBelfastFanatic) (talk) 11:23, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To mirror the Sinking of the Titanic wiki, please add: "There is evidence that Murdoch simply signalled the engine room to stop, not reverse. Lead Fireman Frederick Barrett testified that the stop light came on, but even that order was not executed before the collision." with a cited source

Why use a colorized (faked) photo? Does it feel more "poignant" that way? 2A02:AA1:164A:86B:44BF:B570:1CCE:589A (talk) 21:51, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In Survivors and Victims - the Richard N Williams paragraph reads: "His farther, who was beside him in the water, was on the other hand killed by a funnel." Should be FATHER. 2A00:23C7:CAB9:6501:CDC0:5640:6873:EA28 (talk) 19:51, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
