Do you know any interesting facts about the Titanic?

Answer 1

Only three of the four funnels were real. The fourth was a dummy funnel for looks, and only let out a little kitchen smoke.

Answer 2

The most fascinating story related to Titanic in my opinion is about the novel Futility that was written at least 10 years before Titanic sailed. It is about a large, luxurious passenger ship that strikes an iceberg and sinks on its maiden voyage. The ship in the story is named "Titan."

Answer 3

When it sank the newest thing in entertainment was "moving pictures" or movies as we know them. As a bonus for the passengers they were showing one of the first ever feature films during the trip. The movie they were showing was the original version of "The Poseidon Adventure", a movie about an ocean liner that sinks.

Answer 4

Poor metal casting may have doomed the ship.

The metal in the hull had too high of a sulfur content. In the icy waters of the North Atlantic, the metal was more brittle than realized, so when the iceberg ripped across it, the metal basically shattered.
