Some Interesting Facts on the Titanic
Some Interesting Facts on the Titanic While the tragic sinking of the Titanic is still shocking and a bit unnerving, many of the Titanic facts are quite interesting. • The ship was loaded with only enough lifeboats to hold half of the Titanic passengers. There were 20 of them with a total capacity of 1178 people. • Some of the limited lifeboats were lowered to the waters only half-full. • Further facts on the Titanic indicate that the ship received information earlier regarding the presence of ice floes in the vicinity, yet continued to speed full throttle ahead towards tragedy. • Among the property reported as lost on the Titanic were over 3000 bags of mail and an automobile. • Each first class passenger paid a whopping $4,350 for a parlor suite ticket and $150 for a berth ticket. • The ship contained a heated swimming pool, a first for any sailing vessel. • The ship was still so brand new when passengers boarded it on April 10, 1912 that the paint was still wet in some spots. • Every stateroom contained electric lighting and heat. • Of the 1523 people of perished in the sinking of the Titanic, only 306 bodies were recovered. • The largest percentage of survivors came from first class passengers. • Even though directions have been given for women and children to board the lifeboats first, a number of men were reported as survivors while a surprisingly large number of women and children perished in the disaster. Most of the women and children lost in the sinking came from second and third class. • Sadly, Captain Smith had made plans to retire after seeing the Titanic safely across the Atlantic on her maiden voyage. • It cost $7,500,000 to build the Titanic. • It took three years to fully construct the ship. • Among the provisions when the Titanic set sail in Southampton, England were 40,000 eggs, 75,000 pounds of fresh meat and 1,000 bottles of wine. • The Titanic's total capacity was 3547 passengers + crew. • The Titanic's weight fully loaded was 46,328 tons. • The Titanic was 882 feet/268 meters long. • There were 29 boilers on board of the ship. • The ship consumed 825 tons of coal in one day. • The top speed of the Titanic was 23 knots. |
