After the case with Titanic, the safety level on all liners has increased.

The best ships of the 21st century: Top-5
The title "The largest passenger ship in the world" is moving away from one vessel to another - the rating is constantly changing. Ship models are constantly being improved, new requirements are established at the local and international level, high technologies are created. In this regard, it is possible that in the near future the list will replenish new names of the marine giants.
The tragic story of "Titanic" has become so icing that it will be infinite to the image of this ship. The other day I noticed a whole series of posts dedicated to the 101th anniversary of the catastrophe. However, I was much more interested in the post of one of the Friends compare "Titanic" with ...
Since he is very voluminous, I decided to make a small "squeeze" from it. Who is especially interested, can see the original on the link (a lot of pictures and bucoffs).
This is how you can approximately compare the legendary "Titanic" with a modern liner. And what is it for modern ship? Some call him the most large liner in the world. However, we know that the most big liner In the world, it is Oasis of the Seas and it has a 361 meter long. And what do we read about this giant? Somewhere 362 meters, somewhere 361, and somewhere 360 \u200b\u200bmeters. Do you know how this is explained? But like: along with the twin vessel Oasis of the seas It is the largest passenger ship in the world as of November 2010: the length of both cruise ships is about 360 m (depending on temperature), and Allure of the seaslong to your sister for 5 cm.
That's the designers, well, would have done a couple of meters for sure what! In general, we assume that this ship is one of the largest in the world.

1. His His Majesty's Hospital Ship "British"
The ship "The Briton" was created by the same company as the famous "Titanic" - "Harland and Wolf" (English Harland and Wolff) on the order "White Star Line" (English. White Star Line). The ship was built after some time after the death of the "unspected" "Titanic". To protect your reputation, the company made some technical improvements in the design of the ship: increased the number of rescue boats on board, strengthened the body from the side of the boiler room, machine and other departments, the most vulnerable when colliding with Iceberg.
When the construction of the "British" was completed, the ship in size was even more than the "Titanic". He could easily become an excellent cruise liner if the first world War. The Government of England confiscated a "British", turning it into His Majesty's hospital ship. The ship was flooded with fire enemy artillery a year later, as for the first time went down to the water. On his board was a little more than one thousand passengers. Almost all of them managed to save. In total, about 30 people died.
Jacques-Yves Custo discovered the "British" after several decades after his death and was very surprised that the ship's body was perfectly preserved. Since the 1990s, researchers committed a lot of expeditions to the site of flooding "British". The latter was organized in 2012 to establish special equipment on the ship capable of tracking the growth rate of bacteria.
2. British transatlant passenger liner "Lusitania"
Passenger liner "Lusitania" was considered the biggest cruise ship In the world, truth, short time. Its construction ended in 1907.
Eight years later, the vessel was surrounded by the German submarine U-20, which caused a huge resonance in the world community. Germans accused of violation international lawBecause they opened the shooting on an unborn ship without warning. However, as it turned out later, Britain used "Lusitania" for the transportation of ammunition in the hope that Germany will not attack the passenger liner. This, in turn, was also a violation of the norms of international law.
The remains of the ship "Luzitania" rest at the bottom Atlantic Ocean 13 kilometers from the Irish town of Kinsale. The liner is poorly preserved, unlike the "Titanic" and "Briton", because I sank at a much greater depth.
3. Spanish galleon "Nourera Señora de Atkom"

On the path of "Noustra Señora de Atkom" fell into a strong storm. The body of the ship was significantly damaged, so he rapidly went to the bottom with passengers and expensive cargo on board.
For many years, the Spanish authorities tried to find the place of the crash of Galloon "Nourera Señora de Atkom" and return lost values, but to no avail. The ship was discovered in 1985 by a professional treasure hunter with chalk Fisher. The most interesting thing is that the galleon is semi-like and to this day remains happiness. As you know, it is in this part of the ship several centuries ago the Spaniards transported the most valuable things.

He was considered the most successful maritime robber of all time: he sank and captured a huge number of treasure ships worth more than $ 120 million (translated into modern money). However, it was not possible to fully enjoy the leshed prey to Bellal. His ship "UID" sank in 1717 as a result of a strong storm, sending the captain to the bottom of the captain, half of his team and all the valuable things on board.
In 1977, researchers managed to find a sunken ship with help old cardcompiled by a person who explored him immediately after the crash of two hundred and overnight years ago. On the ships of the bell, they found the inscription "UID, 1716", which did not give them a drop to doubt the one who belonged to the ship.
