called "Titanic"? Their makers made a boast along these lines almost 100 years ago.
No, they didn't, The Shipbuilder magazine published a comment that it was "thought to be practically unsinkable." The owner made no such statement.

Thanks for the clarification.

However, just who is the mystery gent (or gents) that had that original "thought"?

The Titanic disaster, though tragic in so many ways, would perhaps not have had the massive amount of publicity nor historic staying power attached to it had there not been the initial claim, from somewhere, that the boat was "practically unsinkable". That notion then entered the collective consciousness of the masses most forcefully.

I think it's possible the comments Allchin made about Vista may come back to haunt him.

If I'm proven wrong, won't nobody care.

But if I'm right, won't nobody forget.
