The great ship, Titanic, sailed for New York from Southampton on April 10th, 1912.
Hello, everyone.
I think here we should use the indefinite article instead of the definite article, for that in history there have been clearly more than one ship that have been considered as great.
To use the definite article, we will have to dispense with the two commas:
The great ship Titanic sailed for New York from Southampton on April 10th, 1912.
Would you agree with me?
Many thanks
Richard
