On April 10, 1912, the Titanic set sail on its maiden voyage, traveling from Southampton, England, to New York City. Nicknamed the âMillionaireâs Special,â the ship was fittingly captained by Edward J. Smith, who was known as the âMillionaireâs Captainâ because of his popularity with wealthy passengers.
Actually, there was no one person who called the Titanic unsinkable: it was a combination of the owners and the ship-builder and the press who helped the ship's legend to grow â¦ .hite star line said before the departure of the ship : 'these two wonderful vessels are designed to be unsinkable' So people got the impression that the whole ship was unsinkable. The Titanic was called The Unsinkable Ship because she was designed to stay afloat with 4 watertight compartments breached.
