Royal Mail Ship

~

RMS stands for Royal Mail Steamer. However, RMS in formal terms of the time was to mean "Royal Merchant Ship" as teh ship was of British designation. The dual meaning was also applied; "Royal Mail Steamer", because the Titanic carried mail under the auspices of His Majesty's postal authorities and was driven by steam.
