What´s in a name?

There is an old piece of lore (or superstition) that no sea-going vessel should be named after the Titanic. That also includes Titanic-like names. There is supposedly a curse associated with these names, which makes the vessels more likely to sink.

And the submersible that just disappeared off Titanic´s wreck in the north Atlantic is called...Titan.
