The Titanic - God Himself couldn't sink her

                                                 Titanic the night of April 14, 1912

The RMS Titanic was advertised as unsinkable because of added safety features included in her construction. Titanic had a double walled keel and bulkheading that allowed her to float with any two or the first four compartments open to the ocean. If only the bulkheading went all the way up to the main deck instead of the G deck she may have floated until the Cunard liner Carpathia arrived or even her own lifeboat as the over 15,000 souls that perished believed would happen from her advertisements.

However, judge for yourself. John Jacob Astor IV, age 47 was on the Titanic with his pregnant wife Madeleine Talmage Astor, age 19. Society considered this scandalous in 1912. Another Businessman, Benjamin Guggenheim was aboard the doomed ship with his mistress a French singer  by the name of Madame Leontine Aubart. When the list of survivors was telegraphed to New York City she was listed as Mrs. Guggenheim. The spiritualist William Stead a journalist and writer was also aboard the Titanic and had written a story about a mail ship that hit an iceberg and sank, with great loss of life because the ship did not have enough life boats. Isidor Straus a partner in Macy's Department Store in Manhattan, New York City sent word to his brother that he and his wife Ida had booked passage and that they should join them on returning to the United States.

Even the Titanic's rescue ship Carpathia sank on July 17, 1918 from the torpedo of a German Imperial U-boat off the coast of Ireland.
