Actually, the Titanic was a schooner.

Where in the definition of a schooner does it say that a mast has to be
stepped amidships?
AFAIK a schooner has two (or more) masts, with the
foreward mast being shorter and/or having less sail area.
... Did you think she ever carried sail on those masts?
From what I've read, no. However she was rigged for sail, carried sails
on board, and was described on her registry as "schooner rigged."
