If the Titanic had not sunk in April 1912, how long would it have remained the world's longest ocean liner?

I believe the Britannic was in production at the time of the Titanic disaster, and was projected to be approx. 1500 gross tons larger. The Britannic was to be completed approx. 2 years after the Titanic was sunk. She was completed in Feb, 1914, served as a hospital ship until 1916, when she struck a mine and sunk in the Agean Sea.

Then that must be the Berengeria, formerly the Imperator of Germany launched in 1913. That Cunard behemoth weighed almost 6,000 more tons than the Titanic and was 37 feet longer, at 919 feet. Dec 23 03, 11:47 PM

Yea, Robboy! Although Hamburg-America's "Imperator" didn't become Cunard's "Berengaria" until after WW I, as war reparations. Dec 24 03, 12:28 AM
