Greenwich, England, or Greenwich, Connecticut? -- Anonymous

Is it RMS (Royal Mail Ship according to http://www.ucc.ie/cgi-bin/acronym?rms)? -- Anonymous

It's Royal Mail Steamer per http://www.rmstitanic.net/rmst/faqs/rms_faq11.htm. <>< tbc

I moved HMS Titanic to S.S., and added a redirect. --Belltower

Blast, that would be the third change (after me making the initial error of H.M.S. Titanic). According to this website, you are absolutely correct : http://www.rmstitanic.net/rmst/faqs/rms_faq11.htm Arco Scheepen

OK, is there another way to make sure? Anyone owns a book on the topic to verify www.rmstitanic.net? - Yooden

Interestingly the on-board newpaper of the Titanic refers to it as the SS Titanic: SEE: http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/Carpathia/page10.htm. I will see if I can find any more primary source information. sjc

Both SS and RMS are valid titles for it. I added a note to this effect on the main page. --Belltower
