Just wondering, if Titanic hadn't sunk but completed her maiden voyage in 1912, would it have made any difference in todays liners etc.? She'd would like her sisters probably seen some service in WWI....

Well Olympic was her sister ship and after they raised the bulkheads and added more life boats she had a long and succesfull career.

True! Would they, the liners, have been even larger today, if she hadn't sunk? Thinking that, if she'd have long life, and with maybe people still thinking that she was unsinkable....
