10 curiosities about the Titanic

The third chimney was fake.
Of the four large funnels on the Titanic, 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' equipped with state-of-the-art apparatus for the era: a stationary bike, rowing machines, and 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, featuring marble, colored tiles, and a professional masseur.

The menus have survived.
Some original menus from the lunch and dinner of April 14, 1912 (the last day) were found in the pockets of survivors. 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 made reservations but canceled shortly before departure.

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

Boiler No. 6 is still on the seabed.
Various boilers from the Titanic have been found during 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 forward by 23 minutes and 4 seconds.

The radiotelegrafist was criticized.
The senior telegraphist (Jack Phillips) responded brusquely to the Californian, who was trying to warn about the ice ('Quiet! I am working Cape Race!'). After the tragedy, he was heavily criticized.

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