if the titanic didnt sink what whould have become of it now?

Answer 1

If she'd survived, she'd likely have been retired and scrapped before WWII started. We'd remember her as one of a group of grand seagoing palaces, and be able to get a feel for how she looked by visiting the hotel(s) that had the good fortune to acquire some of her interior decor and fittings, as was done when her sister Olympic was scrapped. If she was still around when the war started, it's probable she'd've been pressed into service ferrying troops, as were other liners. I doubt she'd have survived much past the war, though; the Queens Mary and Elizabeth were head and shoulders more advanced ships, and even their days somehat numbered when transoceanic air travel became common.

Answer 2

Playing around with the "what if's" of history is always interesting, but nobody could say for sure. One way to to figure out the Titanic would be to examine what happened to the sister ships, or similar ships of that generation. Most serve their purpose and go to the scrapyard, I would suppose, but occasionally history buffs step in and restore a couple for posterity.

"Old Ironsides" is an example, where a poem stirred the country to save the USS Constitution from the scrapyard, and we are able to visit it today. We have quite of few WWII era ships and submarines to visit, but not many of the WWI era that I can think of. Many of those were scrapped or converted for use in WWII. One of the Titanic's sister ships, the Olympic, followed this path - saw service in WWII, and in the end was scrapped with parts sold to collectors. See

We all can remember those old cars that grandpa had that would be worth a fortune today, but at the time they were common place and ended up in the junkyard when their usefulness ended. I am not a marine historian by any stretch of the imagination, but I have studied history as a hobby for quite some time, and that seems to have been the practice until recent times.

Answer 3

Adm- etc etc hits the mark... Ocean Liners were the Pop Stars of their Era. New in 1912, HMS Titanic would still have been been useful in WW I but being slower than Cunaders Mauretania & Lusitania and others would have been more of target. Provided Titanic avoided being sunk then most likely she would have served through the twenties as an aging dowager and consigned to the wreckers by the early 1930s...
