maiden voyage the unthinkable occurred
welcome to watchmojo.com ting down the
top five facts about the Titanic number
five newspapers got the story wrong they
say the bad news travels fast but not so
much in 1912 as the number of newspapers
on both sides of the Atlantic
misreported the disaster perhaps most
famously Britain’s Daily Mail carried a
front page stating that the Titanic had
sunk last night but that there were no
lives lost while the Baltimore Evening
Sun got things wrong in America as it
claimed all Titanic passengers are safe
generally the American press benefited
from a six-hour time difference and
began to make sense of the disaster but
with only scattered Wireless messages to
work from details were still sketchy the
New York American reported that fifteen
to eighteen hundred people were dead
while the New York Times tentatively
went with quote probably twelve hundred
and fifty people perished the London
Evening News got it right when they
printed arguably the most iconic
headline however Titanic disaster great
loss of life number four the ship had a
whole lot of facilities for first-class
passengers good evening sir
Titanic was truly a pioneer in terms of
onboard comfort and convenience the Ritz
Hotel in London loosely inspired the
ship’s interior and its facilities were
many and wide-ranging especially for
first-class passengers there was an
onboard gym squash court and swimming
pool as well as Turkish baths a steam
room and a massage Center
such was the size of the ship the
Titanic even had its own onboard
newspaper the Atlantic Daily Bulletin
which was printed on site and carried
news updates received by the wireless
operators and what wealthy Dowager would

ship had its own kennel on deck F and

came this close to boarding the ship but
for whatever reason didn’t and were
luckily spared in the disaster Milton
Hershey of Hershey’s chocolate paid a
$300 deposit for a first-class passage
but unexpected business had him leave
Europe three days earlier wealthy
sportsman Alfred Vanderbilt
luckily changed his mind about sailing
only to be killed in a Lusitania three
years later when it was struck by a
German u-boat torpedo radio pioneer
Guglielmo Marconi narrowly avoided
Titanic as well due to rescheduled
business and his luck continued as he
also sailed on Lusitania but on the
voyage before its disaster legendary
financier JP Morgan was also supposed to
sail and even had a personal suite
onboard but fortunately he chose to
extend his stay in France instead
contrastingly John Jacob Astor the
fourth is believed to be the wealthiest
victim of the disaster worth around two
billion dollars in today’s money legend
claims that after the Titanic struck an
iceberg he quipped to the waiter I asked
for ice but this is ridiculous
number two there was supposed to be a
lifeboat drill the morning before it
sunk well the time being I shall require
only women and children a lack of
lifeboats on Titanic and inefficient use
of those that were available is usually
blamed for what most analysts agree was
an avoidable high loss of life while
it’s important to remember that the ship
did meet legal requirements at the time
there were just 20 lifeboats on the
vessel sixteen wooden and four
collapsible even so if utilized
correctly they could have carried eleven
hundred and seventy eight people to
safety however the first boat to leave
which had a capacity of 65 people went
with just 28 a trend which continued for
the other nineteen boats being lungs

in a boat built for 65 and I saw one
bowl 2012 a little over 30 percent of
those on board survived but over 50
percent could have been rescued filthy
I’ve got Eggman number one a woman lied
about being a lost survivor Loraine
Allison was the only child in Titanic’s
first to second class to perish and was
just 2 years old when the ship went down
the Allison family the women and
children of which might have been
accepted onto the lifeboats reportedly
remained on the stricken ship as they
were unable to locate Lorraine’s brother
Trevor the tragic individual story was
brought back into the public eye in 1940
when Helen Lorraine Kramer claimed to be
Loraine Allison according to Kramer her
parents had handed her to a man named
Hyde just as the lifeboats were leaving
Kramer died in 1992 with the Allison
family still refusing to accept her
story the situation was only truly
cleared up in 2013 however when
mitochondrial DNA testing on female 1
descendants of Kramer and the Allison’s
found that they were not related so what
do you think is the most incredible part
of this epic disaster survivors accounts
tell us that some of the passengers were
picking up the ice and playing with it
