I stand corrected. Interesting that we really never had the seperate ships, but I'll bet that the US figured as long as the other countries had theirs we didn't need them.nondisclosed_email@example.com (Teamtunafish)Tue, 11 Jan 2005 21:06:27 +0000 Re: Lusitainia?https://btomdyerstitanicsitecommunity.runboard.com/p9141,from=rss#post9141https://btomdyerstitanicsitecommunity.runboard.com/p9141,from=rss#post9141quote:the US equivelent is USS, United States Ship Hello, Teamtunafish--- I think the title "USS" is limited to ships of the United States Navy, just as "HMS" is reserved for Royal Navy ships. One occasionally sees the designation "USMS" (United States Mail Ship) used in old advertisements and the like, but it's not very common. In Titanic's time, there were relatively few US ships engaged in international trade---on the North Atlantic, for example, only the four ships of the American Line, I think---so most American mail was carried by British and German ships, just like most of the passengers were. And even when carrying US mail eastbound, the British ships used the RMS designation.nondisclosed_email@example.com (SchweigerU20)Sat, 08 Jan 2005 23:35:11 +0000 Re: Lusitainia?https://btomdyerstitanicsitecommunity.runboard.com/p9140,from=rss#post9140https://btomdyerstitanicsitecommunity.runboard.com/p9140,from=rss#post9140No, any British (includes Scotland, Ireland, and Wales) ship that carries mail is RMS. nondisclosed_email@example.com (Teamtunafish)Wed, 29 Dec 2004 02:48:22 +0000 Re: Lusitainia?https://btomdyerstitanicsitecommunity.runboard.com/p9139,from=rss#post9139https://btomdyerstitanicsitecommunity.runboard.com/p9139,from=rss#post9139So any english built ship is RMS? nondisclosed_email@example.com (Titanic Archangel)Mon, 27 Dec 2004 06:32:20 +0000 Re: Lusitainia?https://btomdyerstitanicsitecommunity.runboard.com/p9138,from=rss#post9138https://btomdyerstitanicsitecommunity.runboard.com/p9138,from=rss#post9138It means Royal Mail Ship or (in our case) Royal Mail Steamer. Any ship carrying mail from Britain is so designated - the US equivelent is USS, United States Ship (or Steamer).nondisclosed_email@example.com (Teamtunafish)Mon, 20 Dec 2004 17:01:20 +0000 Lusitainia?https://btomdyerstitanicsitecommunity.runboard.com/p9137,from=rss#post9137https://btomdyerstitanicsitecommunity.runboard.com/p9137,from=rss#post9137Is Lusitania an RMS? is that its title? nondisclosed_email@example.com (Titanic Archangel)Sat, 18 Dec 2004 02:08:38 +0000
