As a starter, No 2 is Gigantic which was renamed Britannic so people didn't think it was linked to Titanic......not that Britannic ever carried any paying passengers because she was drawn into the first world war as a hospital ship and finally sunk in the Aegean.

Sorry....knew that one  :y

Correct!!  - plus 1 bonus point for extra knowledge :)

Skruntie - minus 1 point for being given the answer and STILL getting it wrong!!  ;) :D
