SS Grampian (1907)
SS Grampian after hitting an iceberg on July 10, 1919
- ... that the captain of the SS Grampian (pictured after collision) intentionally rammed an iceberg head on so as to avoid the Titanic's fate? Source:"That the Grampian did not suffer the fate of the Titanic with considerable loss of life, is believed to have been due to the decision of the captain to strike the iceberg bow on instead of taking a glancing blow on the side."

@Thats Just Great: While the article is new enough, long enough, and not a copyvio, I am a bit concerned about the language in the article - it could probably use some copyediting before the front page. Also, the entire career section is uncited. Juxlos (talk) 21:29, 22 July 2019 (UTC)
- @Juxlos: Added citations to the career section and did some copy editing. -- Thats Just Great (talk) 00:36, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
- The copy edit was frankly unsatisfactory - try going through the article once more. Also, the last sentence of the iceberg strike section is uncited. Juxlos (talk) 06:20, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
- @Juxlos: How does it look now? -- Thats Just Great (talk) 16:01, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
