I didn’t check the date at first and thought “what kind of moron would name a giant ship the Titanic.”

That is fascinating to look at the actual pages of the paper.

The ads too - "One-way settlers fares to the Northwest".

Miss Jennie Black demands men be home by 9pm so women and children can have the streets to themselves...
Funny...

Is it possible the Titanic was going too fast and too close under the circumstances, the same mistake that was repeated a few days later?

Been there, done that, couple of times. Always when most of the crew was ashore.

White Star. Our voyages suck before we even leave port.

the new White Star liner Titanic, the largest vessel afloat, sailed on her first voyage for New York. Semantics, I know. But the New York voyage was not her first. She sailed first from Belfast, Ireland to Southampton.

In confined waterways a surge displaces water in one direction, which then reverses as the vessel proceeds. This process is exaggerated by vessels having little clearance under the keel, thus creating a restricted movement of the water.
Applying more power to overcome the bow surge which is retarding progress of the vessel underway, exaggerates the effect. Also, suction at the stern created by the propellers operating in a restricted water flow, tends to abruptly draw down water levels near the shore.
This is one way to damage property in a No-Wake! zone, while moving no faster than a slow jog pace.
