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.
Common prefixes are MV (for Motor Vessel), MS (for Motor Ship), MT (Motor Tanker), SY (for Sailing Yacht) or MY (for Motor Yacht), while prefixes from older times were SS (for Steam Ship) and RMS (for Royal Mail Ship) or ever older HMS (for His/Her Majesty's Ship).
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.

A yacht is first defined either as a sailing yacht, motor yacht, or gulet yacht, and then as a sports yacht or luxury yacht. Sailing Yacht: a yacht mainly propelled via wind and sails. Motor Yacht: a yacht propelled via one or more motors.
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).
Boat names can be as unique as the people who name them. A good boat name might reflect the owner's interests or hobbies, or might be a classic name that just resonates.
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.
