A quick question

We went to a wedding reception there vq
As you say the room is stunning

The White Swan at Alnwick is well worth a visit. Algernon Smart bought the fixtures and fittings of the First Class Smoking Room and used them to design the restaurant. It is a stunning room. The wall panels are amazing. It gives you an insight into how luxurious the Olympic must have been if this was only the First Class Smoking Room. What must the First Class restaurants and ballrooms have been like?

How many sister ships did the Titanic have?
The White Swan Hotel in Alnwick en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Swan_Hotel, is famous for its Olympic Suite, the furnishings of which came from RMS Olympic, one of the Titanic's sister ships.
"The hotel has undergone various extensions and renovations, perhaps most notably in 1936 when its then owner, Algernon Smart, bought various elements from the decommissioned RMS Olympic and incorporated them into the fabric of the building."

Sister ship to Titanic.

Oh they've just said!! Only 30 people died. So that answers that question. Bit a storm in a teacup?

I suppose it's like raiding the Egyptian tombs

No it's about the sister ship Britannic. It's just be bought and I would have thought there were masses of people on it.

Ergo, if it is owned, it can be sold ?

Perhaps all of those on board were safely rescued before the vessel sank?

Why whitewave are you thinking of buying one (with your nautical name, perhaps you are )

I don't know, I have thought that before now, but people do. I think it's better to leave it to become a marine reef.

Interesting, some ships, usually naval ones are registered as war graves I think. However if a company owns a ship and it sinks, do they not still own it ?, I'm sure they would under normal circumstances.
