yeah, they should have left ship building to the UK. Then it would at least be in service before it sank. (Sorry, couldn't resist :P)

Actually, they're Irish, but still UK.

Might I remind you of the Titanic and Britannic? And Atlantic? And Naronic? And Suevic? Or what of Republic? Arabic?

Or the Tayleur, which took place before all that?

Turns out the real mistake was she ship itself.

Its sister was launched successfully 2 years later with a great reduction in height.

Read the discription.

Here's the Wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principessa_Jolanda (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principessa_Jolanda)

Was there someone onboard the ship when it was launched?
dunno, but even if there was, they were probably saved in no time.
