That is concerning. I've heard Poland has problems with Russia.

i always heard that if a ship/boat sinks that they never build another one and rename it the same as the ill-fated one because that brings bad luck to the current one...

well, it appears someone doesn't believe in that or they are simply defying the unwritten code of the nautical world because a ship is currently on the drawing boards that is not only a replica of the Titanic but it will also bear her name,

The "new Titanic" thing is pretty obviously a money-making stunt. No doubt the builders consider that the opportunity to charge people a fortune to sail on the Titanic outweighs any bad karma due to the name.

I was just reading about the Mary Celeste... I doubt very much whether they'll build another one with that name.

Sailors are apparently a superstitious lot - but I guess that's not surprising, as in the days before science based navigation and meteorology all they had to go on was legends and customs handed down. I believe there is, or was, also a firmly held belief that it was bad luck to set sail on a Friday. And then there is the taboo on killing an albatross - not sure about bringing bad luck for the ship's crew, but it would definitely be bad luck for the albatross.
