RMS stands for "Royal Mail Ship" After the boat sank, lots of people expecting mail didn't get it. I wonder why...

"RMS" means "Royal Mail Ship". (Some say "steamer.") This title shows that the Titanic had a charter from the British government to carry British (i.e., the royal) Mail. Occasionally the prefix HMS (His Majesty’s Ship) is seen in print, but that usage is incorrect since H.M.S. is reserved for British war ships.
