The RMS TITANIC was designated as a 'Royal Mail Ship,' meaning the Ship had been contracted to carry Royal (British) Mail. TITANIC was also referred to as an SS ship which stands for 'steamship', indicating that the propulsion was steam powered, but 'SS' had less prestige than 'RMS', so it was used less.
The SS prefix, which appeared in the 19th century, is one of the earliest and most famous examples. It designated steam-powered craft, then at the cutting edge of naval technology. Originally, SS specifically referred to single-screw steamships, a specific type of steamship fitted with one propeller.

Usage. Historically, prefixes for civilian vessels often identified the vessel's mode of propulsion, such as "MV" (motor vessel), "SS" (screw steamer; often cited as "steam ship"), or "PS" (paddle steamer).
The original civilian ship prefix is SS, which is an acronym for “steamship.” Back in the early days of powered water vessels, shipping companies wanted a way to distinguish their newer, faster steamships from older, slower sail and oar propelled watercraft.
