10 Facts about the 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 stronger and more symmetrical appearance.

The Titanic had a luxury gym
• On board there was a “Gymnasium” with state-of-the-art equipment for the era: exercise bicycles, rowers, 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 most refined ever installed on a ship, with marble, colored tiles, and a professional masseur.

Menus survived
• Some original menus from the April 14, 1912 lunch and dinner (the last day) were found in 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 wasn’t paid until the end
• After the sinking, the insurance company initially refused payment to the musicians’ families, claiming they had broken the contract by dying on the job (!)

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

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

The radio operator was criticized
• The senior telegraphist (Jack Phillips) snapped at the Californian, which was trying to warn of ice (“Quiet! I’m working Cape Race!”). After the tragedy he was heavily criticized.

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