10 curiosità sul Titanic:

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

The Titanic had a luxury gym
• On board there was a “Gymnasium” with cutting-edge equipment for the time: exercise bikes, rowing machines, mechanical treadmills. First-class passengers could use it with an instructor.

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

The menus survived
• Some original menus from lunch and dinner on April 14, 1912 (the last day) were found in survivors’ pockets. First class served 11 courses.

There were passengers who changed their minds at the last moment
• Some celebrities and millionaires, like Milton Hershey (the candy king), had booked but canceled just before sailing.

The orchestra was not paid until the end
• After the sinking, the insurance company initially refused to pay the families of the musicians, claiming they had violated the contract by dying on the job (!)

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

The clocks were adjusted daily
• As was customary for transatlantic ships, officers changed the shipboard time daily according to longitude. On the night of the disaster the clock was moved by 23 minutes and 4 seconds.

The radio operator was criticized
• Senior telegraphist (Jack Phillips) brusquely replied to the Californian, which tried to warn of ice (“Shut up! I’m working Cape Race!”). After the tragedy he was heavily criticized.

The wreck is “melting”
• A marine bacterium (Halomonas titanicae) is eating the Titanic’s iron. At the current rate, the wreck could disappear almost entirely within the coming decades.
