I'm about to get ready to go to this bar that my mother is managing. She needs help tending bar. She wants me to come in and "observe" how crazy it gets in there. I've told her a million times that I know how to bar tend. I had some crazy customers when I worked in restaurants. I once had to help bar tend a 500 person private party on new years. Talk about insanity!!! I'm like I think I've got this, mom!

You get asked out while you bar tend?

Question - Why did the Titanic have lifeboats if it was deemed unsinkable?

I expect it was in the event of fires, etc. Maybe.

Bloofer is right. Earlier, ships of this general type sunk slowly. And a number of trips could be made from the sinking ship to rescue ships.


But you made me curious as to whether or not the Titanic was ever considered unsinkable by anyone before it sank?

I did a little research, and it turns out the experts of the time believed it was practically unsinkable. No reasonable person in history ever thought any ship was absolutely unsinkable.

Historians eventually found only one ad flyer, by Titanic's company White Star, that ever said anything close to unsinkable, "as far as it is possible to do, these two wonderful vessels are designed to be unsinkable."

And so, "unsinkable" was not something declared, nor widely advertised, specifically to the Titanic by it's owners or designer. It was merely the general belief by everyone that they were "practically unsinkable".
