Man Names Boat ‘Titanic II’ – Sinks It On Maiden Voyage

A man in England who christened his new 16-foot cruiser 'Titanic II' - you guessed it - sank it on its maiden voyage. It's probably never a good idea to name your boat 'The Titanic', just like you wouldn't start a car company and name it 'Edsel'.

44-year old Mark Wilkinson needed rescuing after sinking his boat at West Bay, Dorset. He said that if it wasn't for the harbor master he might not be around at all. He also said he was a little bit tired of people asking him if he had struck an iceberg.

You want to be careful when naming objects, pets, buildings, etc. It's always best to pick a fresh, positive, original moniker in these cases.
