Billions of people around the world have watched the drowning of Leonardo DiCaprio in the movie Titanic. This tape is based on genuine events that occurred around midnight on April 14, 1912 aboard the luxury Titanic. Myths, facts, photos dedicated to this event, you will find in our Top 10 little-known facts and surprisingly interesting stories about the Titanic.

10. A ticket at a low price

For passengers traveling in first class, the ticket price was $ 4350, which in our time is equivalent to $ 106 310. This fare was due to the highest standards of service and increased comfort of cabins.

9. Rescued dogs

Despite the fact that there were not enough boats on the Titanic to save all the people, three dogs were listed among 712 surviving passengers. One Pekingese and two Pomeranian Spitz. And one of the passengers of the Titanic refused to leave the board without her dog and died with her.

8. Spoiled honeymoon

If you watched the movie about the unsinkable liner, remember the emotional scenes with Jack and Rose in the last minutes when the Titanic drowned. The historical facts are as follows: 13 couples celebrated their honeymoon on this giant ship. Unfortunately, they were probably among the 1,531 drowned passengers.

7. Fatal Captain Mistake

The captain of the Titanic, 62-year-old Edward John Smith, had a huge track record. But he only had a wealth of experience managing sailing ships and a little experience with steamboats. Due to lack of knowledge, Smith continued to command the crew to go at full speed (22 knots), even when the Titanic entered the hazardous ice zone. The result is known.

6. Profit from the disaster

There are several films and television shows that more or less reliably “exploit” the facts about the Titanic. Among them: “Titanic” (1943), “Unsinkable Molly Brown” (1964), “Secrets of the Titanic” (1986), “Ghosts of the Abyss: Titanic” (2003), “Titanic: Blood and Steel” ( year 2012). A film about the Titanic by James Cameron, shot in 1997, brought the creators a profit of one billion dollars, and also won 11 Oscars, including the best film and the best award for directing.

5. The real hero

Charles Herbert Lightoller was the second assistant captain on the Titanic and did everything possible to evacuate women and children. The officer himself miraculously escaped by jumping from a ship and having sailed to a floating boat floating upside down, with 30 people on it. By morning, they were picked up by sailors from the Carpathia ship. Lightoller lived to an advanced age - 78 years.

4. Anything

The Titanic ran into an iceberg on its very first exit. And this is the only ocean liner that has sunk due to the iceberg. In addition, the former leader and founder of North Korea, Kim Il Sung, was born on April 15, 1912 (when the Titanic sank).

3. Drank and survived

Interesting facts about the Titanic include the story of drunken ship chef Charles Jufin. The temperature in the Atlantic Ocean during the tragic events on the Titanic was about 0.56 degrees Celsius. Because of this, people could not survive in it for more than 15 minutes. And Juffin, who had pretty much taken a sip of the hot drink, froze in the water for two hours until his salvation. He proved that drunk not only the sea knee-deep, but also the ocean on the shoulder.

2. The Long Quest for the Titanic

It took 73 years to discover the wreckage of the Titanic. This happened in 1985. The liner body was divided into two parts and carried away to a depth of 3784 m.

1. The Cursed Mummy

It is known exactly how the death of the Titanic occurred. Scientific facts are undeniable: the handsome liner sank due to the iceberg. But about the cargo carried by the Titanic, there were many rumors. One of them: the mummy of the soothsayer Amenophis IV, who was taken aboard by order of the British historian Lord Canterville, is guilty of disaster. As a particularly valuable item, a box with a mummy was located near the captain’s bridge.

Some time after the disaster, newspapers began to publish the stories of Titanic passengers. Some of them claimed that shortly before the disaster, the captain was next to the box Amenophis IV. After which his behavior became extremely strange, and a timely reaction to the report of the ice threat did not follow.
