QUESTIONS ABOUT SHIPS #4

Did you know that the infamous "SS Andrew Doria" was renamed because this was an anagram of "Araised, Drowns"?

Did... it by chance sink? O.O

This sounds strange, wasn't it an Italian ship? In that case it would just be called Andrea Doria, and the anagram would fail.

So not only they changed the name, but the nationality too? I did not know that! ;D ;D ;D

Lol, you got me there. XD
BTW I understood what was happening here at your last cart, but I didn't want to delete my comment and leave you with an empty notification, that would be impolite

That is totally cool. I am actually glad some people are challenging these "facts" -- if everybody just took them as correct without questioning, well, I would worry a bit about humanity, really. :D

All that said -- it was a cool anagram, wasn't it? :D ;D :D

Cheers!

Indeed you have a nice imagination, especially as some trivia look at least plausible (the one about US trying to sue Iceland for example, is just less unlikely than some true news you hear daily) XD
Have a nice weekend!
