On March 20, 1912, TITANIC was to leave port for her maiden voyage. However, she never did. Her first voyage was delayed and rescheduled due to her sister ship, RMS OLYMPIC, needing repairs after her collision (September 20th) with the British warship HMS HAWKE. Workers and material were diverted from the TITANIC to repair OLYMPIC. One wonders if TITANIC's earlier voyage dates would have allowed her to safely transit her original course free of icebergs.
