I made a mistake in the Venice pilings question. Was sure someone would have caught it and corrected me by now.

Gondola Boats Have what looks like a fancy sculpture on the rear, right. Its used as an ore lock. Every curve has different purpose.

What is the name of that Ore Lock???? :confused3:

Titanic had 2 sister ships.
What were their names??:confused3:
What happened to them??:confused3:

I don't know the answer, but why are ships always "Female"?? Any good guesses??

Confused?

If ships are female, why do so many have male names?

US Navy ship name list: Places and men

And not all man-named ships are Admirals:
USNS PFC Dewayne T. Williams
SS PFC Eugene A. Obregon

Your are correct that they are mostly named after Men.
But did you ever here of a "Brother Ship"??
When people Sailors mostly they are always referred to as a "She".

I think the other ship may have been called Olympic?.. I am not sure what happened to it.

No, because it takes a man to handle them.
