The White Star Line remains today one of the most remembered shipping companies, for all the right and wrong reasons. Most notably, the sinking of the Titanic. What would happen if the Titanic sank but was transported to Equestria and no one knew that happened until it arrived in Manehattan two days later?
A re-done version of the original story.
Keep up the good work
No character tags?

It's broad so I intend not to.
Funny that I was about to write my own Titanic fic when you published this.
You know what we often forget about the sister the Olympic because she was a the sister of the Titanic but and had survived odds like ramming a U-Boat
Why did Luna sense Titanic and not 9/11?
are you going to cancel this one next?
I welcome this redux!
I'm looking forward for this
This is pretty good & you should continue it. I wonder how the human passengers & crew of the Titanic will react to seeing brightly colored talking ponies. There was actually a story written in 1898 by Morgan Robertson about a luxury liner that was very similar to the Titanic & like the Titanic, it hits an iceberg & sinks in April in the North Atlantic Ocean on its way from England to New York & many of the passengers & crew die. In the story, the ship was called "The Titan".
Here's the link to the article about it.
When you think about how great the similarities are & that Robertson wrote it 14 years before the Titanic tragedy, it's really creepy. Almost as though he was predicting the Titanic disaster with his novel.
Considering how people were back in the early 20th century, none of the humans would react well at all.

Old Reliable Olympic. A shame she was scrapped in 1935 and she even steamed herself there. I've actually got a few items from this ship.
Currently I'm waiting for someone to do a story about 1873 White Star Line SS Atlantic and its grounding. It was the worst accident up till Titanics sinking.

Oh yes. The RMS Olympic. Put her class (i.e. the Olympic class—Olympic, Titanic, and Gigantic err, Britannic) on her shoulders and carried them. Converted to a troop carrier for WWI, rammed and sank a U-Boat, and then served White Star (or whoever owned her post-war. Her first sister sinking on her maiden voyage and her second sinking in the first half of the Great War were individually catastrophes for White Star, and put together in such short succession made for a ruinous disaster the company never recovered from) faithfully and well until she was sent to the cutters in the 30s.
For the author: is this a rewrite of another Titanic/MLP crossover?
As a Titanic fanatic...I can't wait for more.
I always found Captain Smith's story to be especially sad: this was going to be his swan song on the sea, and he spent his final hours knowing at least 1,000 people were going to die.

they all had major accidents its just Titanic was the only one to do it at peacetime, Britanic hit a sea mine (not really her fault) and Olympic got lucky, though maybe they just built her right and should have stopped
Kind of odd they're dismissing it as a dream, wouldn't most of the 1st class passengers be missing? and all the lifeboats? And presumably a large number of crew who died overboard?

from whats implied, its feels more like everyone even survivors would be back onboard. Not just the one who would die. All 2,240 instead of just the 1500 that confirmed died.

pritty much everyone who was on the ship before it sank is still on it with it in equastia
Very nice start. Things might of turned out very different if they has launched her on time rather than delayed it due to the Olympic needing repairs after colliding with the Hawke

igiari, from the old story and this rewrite. It's all passengers, even the ones who survived and got out onto lifeboats.

LOL there's some horror there waking up on a ship that broke in half in front of you
There needs to be more mlp fanfics about historical events
Boy I’m glad to see you back mate!
How are you? Hope life’s being treating you well this last 2 years or so :)
I’m already seeing major improvements over the original fic. though I did found this small mistake on paragraph 4:
Unless you meant silent silence, I think a there’s an extra silence there XD
But as I said before, this is definitely an improvement over the original, with more “meat on its bone” when it comes to descriptions, character interactions/reactions and dialogue. Although in general is much better.
I think I made this suggestion in the OG version of the fic but you might wanna add links to the Wikipedia page or a biography of the historical characters. Or maybe just the photographs of the historical characters (if any exist). Is just a recommendation to connected the fic with the historical event more easily.
Suggestions and observations aside, I hope you continue since even though it was a bit wanky at times, I still enjoy the OG version of the fic, and I really wanted to get more of it, specially now that you are working on an improved version.
Also, welcome back to FiMFiction after your 2 year break
Just finished reading the old story again, and it looks like you're not changing much, just cleaning it up a little bit, which I can honestly understand. A little more detail and tweaking never hurt anyone.
Nice to know you haven't fully abandoned this story! I really wanna see where this goes. Let's see how Equestria handles the Titanic- this time!
Is this intended as a separate paragraph?
Capitalize the "h" in this case, as the first word of the sentence.
While this story could use further editing, I am stll looking forwards to see where this adventure is going off to.
As a fellow Titanic enthusiast, I am curious to see what this story contains. I've even done some Titanic inspired pony art if you wanted to see.
Will you continue this?
This was pretty good! Personally, I think there was nothing wrong with the original one I kinda wish you continued that one instead, but this one is great as well! I'm excited on whats gonna happen next
Thanks for rising from the grave, that Author’s note isn’t fooling me…
Oh, hope to see more chapters for this. I always do love me a story where semi-modern day stuff ends up in Equestria.
Yey!
Oh, I've got an unread chapter in Tracking, I wonder what it could- HOLY SHIT IT'S ALIVE!

Good to know you’re still around mate :)
Other than the several grammar mistakes and odd phrasing in the direct speech, this is really good! One of the most unique HiE concepts I have ever seen...
Again, lovely stuff, Cannot wait to see where it goes. Interesting to see an old relic of Human technology still be somewhat more advanced than its pony equivalents.
Still, there are certainly some grammar mistakes that could be fixed.
For example:
I am excited to see more from you!
Like the Ship of Dreams in your story, the story itself now gathers fresh steam.
Glad this is back.
The atmosphere you've painted is leaving me excited.
