In regard to Titanic being an unsinkable ship: It was long standing tradition that Captain Smith would sail the maiden voyages of the ships of the White Star Line. On the maiden voyage previous to Titanic, Cpt. Smith was interviewed. He stated that he could not foresee any event that could sink the modern ships of the day. He felt that ship building and maritime sciences had come so far as to make the ships unsinkable.
