The Titanic isn't a very large boat by today's standards. My brother got married this Spring on a cruise ship that was about three times the size of the Titanic, and it wasn't even considered a very large cruise ship.
I was trying to quantify the size of the disaster (in deaths) not the size of the ship. A disaster about 10% the size of the Titanic disaster is still quite a large disaster. sorry about that. It's good to see the archiologists and researchers telling the story in both cases. I think the Kentucky story might make a good movie (starring Kevin Costner)
