getting to the bottom of it with the
greatest ship that ever sank but Titanic
look nice welcome to watchmojo.com one
by one in today’s installment we’ll be
counting down the five myths about the
Titanic that simply don’t hold water
myth number five there was a mummy on
the Titanic so he another husband is
down into the mummy from the children
the demise of the Titanic has been
inappropriately attributed to a variety
of supernatural causes such as the
champagne curse but this particular
explanation takes the title of most
absurd a journalist aboard the Titanic
William Thomas steed is credited with
kick-starting this myth having
entertained his dinner companions with
the creepy tale of princess a Munro a
mummy he claimed was a fellow passenger
it’s little surprise then that when the
Titanic sank two days later survivors
would blame an ancient evil allegedly on
board sadly it was just dinner told
there was no mummy stowed away on the
Titanic but rather a simple sarcophagus
cover oh my god it’s possible this
number for the kissed Hope Diamond was
on the ship if not the champagne or the
mummy
how about clerestory the Hope Diamond is
among the most famous in the world last
insured at 250 million dollars no no no
the Hope Diamond is ungettable every
thief in the world known that almost
onion
according to legend however it comes
with a much heavier cost a deadly curse
of the time that the Titanic sunk it
belonged to mrs. Evelyn McLean who lost
her son to a car crash the daughter to
suicide and her husband to insanity it’s
a strong case for the curse of the Hope
Diamond except one little problem
Evelyn McLean was never a passenger on
the Titanic Rose’s heart of the ocean
was inspired partially by the Hope
Diamond and another necklace worn by one
Kate Florence Philips aboard the tight
but it’s very unlikely that either help
sink the ship what do you think it’s
worth
Stegman ah miss number three the
soundtracks are sinking nearer my God to
thee
talk about setting the mood for a bleak
occasion in the film the song performed
by the band as the ship goes down is the
deeply depressing yet undeniably
appropriate him nearer my God to thee
[Music]
news articles of the time reported this
particular ham as the final song played
by the selfless musicians but accounts
vary greatly it’s believed that those
eyewitnesses who heard nearer my God to
thee and called it the final song of the
night were those lucky enough to get off
the boat early other survivors claimed
that the band later played upbeat
ragtime and popular songs of the day to
keep spirits up as the musicians went
down with the ships their exact last
song will never be known
hey they learned it a bunch of pros myth
number 2 J Bruce Ismay the true villain
aboard the ship the prisoners the size
of Titanic now I wanted to marvel at her
speed every story whether it’s true or
fictional needs a good villain
Joseph Bruce Ismay with the chairman and
director of the White Star Line which is
the company who owned and operated the
RMS Titanic and following the accident
as the senior most surviving member of
the company he became a lightning rod
for criticism he was hated across
America and the UK in the film he is
depicted as bullying the captain into
unsafe speeds and forcing his way onto
lifeboats ahead of women and children
take them down
in reality there is no record of him
influencing the captain and the official
investigation revealed that he helped
many women and children get to safety
before boarding the life of himself but
hey an iceberg makes for a rather blunt
villain he is even more evil than
Skeletor myth number one everyone
believed it to be unsinkable the truth
of the matter is the maiden voyage of
the Titanic was not the momentous
headline stealing feet that the film
made Elsa be
she’s a beautiful ship our age shapely
seductive I am going to fly her brains
out at the time of its inaugural trip
very little was being written about the
Titanic it was the largest passenger
liner of its times but its sister ship
the Olympic had gone is much more
attention a year earlier its reputation
as an unsinkable ship was never much of
a thing that legacy was projected onto
it after the fact because it made for a
much better headline every mountain is
unclimbable until someone climbs it so
every ship in unsinkable until it’s a
simple tragedy of epic proportions was
made that much more grandiose by adding
classic storytelling elements of hubris
and human arrogance the reality is the
Titanic’s reputation of the unsinkable
ship was invented after it sunk I can
assure you the ship will sink as it has
a thousand times before it is
unthinkable so how many of these myths
did you believe in crab like their
sister daily for more larger-than-life
top tens and historically accurate top 5
