10 curiosities about the Titanic

The third chimney was fake.
• Of the four large funnels of the Titanic, only three were actually connected to the boilers. The fourth was purely decorative, added to give a more powerful and symmetrical appearance.

The Titanic had a luxury gym.
• On board there was a 'Gymnasium' with state-of-the-art equipment for the era: stationary bikes, rowing machines, mechanical treadmills. First-class passengers could use it with a trainer.

It also had a Turkish bath.
• The Titanic's Turkish bath was among the most refined ever installed on a ship, with marble, colored tiles, and a professional masseur.

The menus have survived.
• Some original menus for the lunch and dinner of April 14, 1912 (the last day) were found in the survivors' pockets. In first class they served 11 courses.

There were passengers who changed their minds at the last moment.
• Some celebrities and millionaires, like Milton Hershey (the King of Chocolate), had booked but canceled shortly before setting sail.

The orchestra was not paid until the end.
• After the sinking, the insurance company initially refused payment to the musicians' families, arguing that they had breached the contract by dying on the job (!)

Boiler No. 6 is still on the seabed.
• Several of the Titanic's boilers have been found during the expeditions. No. 6 is one of the most recognizable objects on the seabed, photographed thousands of times.

The watches were adjusted every day.
• As was customary for transatlantic ships, the officers changed the onboard time every day based on longitude. On the evening of the disaster, the clock was moved by 23 minutes and 4 seconds.

The radiotelegrafist was criticized.
• The senior telegraphist (Jack Phillips) snapped at the Californian, which was trying to warn about the ice (“Shut up! I'm working Cape Race!”). After the tragedy he was heavily criticized.

The wreck is gradually dissolving.
• A marine bacterium (Halomonas titanicae) consumes the iron of the Titanic. At the current rate, the wreck could disappear almost entirely within the next few decades.
