Think of a ship, a ship that an unsinkable ship.. but one night Titanic was lost into the deep cold waters…
Now here some mysteries about Titanic
Nobody knew that he foresaw one of big disaster of the World
Morgan Robertson an American born in 1861, he was a sailor than he worked as a diamond expert, than he was jewellers NY
After reading a book of Kipling, he decided to be a writer
He sold his first story for 25 USD, than he earned 1000 USD from the 10 stories he wrote,
Writing was easy and profitable to him
On a winter of 1897, he planned to write a marine story, this was going to be a long story
he imagined a big ship, a ship an unsinkable ship.. The theme of this story was based on love, the main characters take the ship from England Southampton and will be going to New York United States, But there will be an expected surprise, and the ship which won’t be lost, it will be buried to the dark cold waters of the Ocean
That was the theme of the story, he gave 2 names to his story Futility and Accident of Titan…
Let’s read a the part Titan had this accident
The watchman shout, Iceberg, than the officer told this to the captain, but they could not stop the machines, they did not have enough time for to make the ship to go slowly,
they can hear the orchestra playing the music and people are having fun.
then the iceberg hit to the starboard of Titan
and it cut Titan like a knife
Robertson continued the story, titan started to get water, they gave alarm and than the children and women take the life boat, and while the richest families are saying farewell to each other, Titan was getting buried into dark and cold waters of poles
Titanic was lost into the deep cold dark water of the Poles on 14 April 1914, 14 yrs after the story of Robertson published
than what else he predicted
- Titan was going to NY from Southampton UK
- Titanic was going to NY from Southampton UK 14 yrs later
- Titan was 248 metres long
- Titanic was 252 metres long
- Titan was 70.000 ton
-Titanic was 66.000 ton
-Both Titan and Titanic had 3 fans
- Both were carrying 3000 passengers
- Both were carrying Richest Families of Europe
in Robertson’s story Big Titan,hit to an iceberg close to New Foundland in North Atlantic and lost,
It is unbelievable but true, like in the novel Titanic hit to an iceberg and lost into the dark cold water of Atlantic
Not only Titan but Titanic had also did not have enough safety life boats.
Titan had 24 and Titanic had 22
that was the reason on huge number of death
After the real crash 1513 passengers death by drowning and get lost in deep dark waters of Atlantic like in the novel 14 years ago
in Titan 1500 passengers were death both ship were for 3000 passengers
and there were 224 passengers in Titanic
The same ship, which has been told unsinkable
A journey from the same point to the same point
The same date, the same crash
The same iceberg, the same sinking
Same number of passengers and death
Even the gospels playing when both ships were about the sink
Think Twice
Nobody Noticed the big prediction, Morgan Robertson was unsuccessful, his books did not sell, he got into depression, and he got a treatment in a hospital
Than he wrote another novel, and in this story he was talking about submarines and he was describing periscope, once again his novel did not sell,
Robertson passed away in March 1915, 3 years after Titanic crash,
Nobody was interested, Nobody asked him how could he describe Titanic 14 yrs before the crash
Until 1980’s they started to research about Titanic
There is somebody else, this time we were in Canada Rosedale Church, Father Charles Morgan woke up early on a Sunday ,morning, was preparing for Sunday service
He wrote the umber of the gospel that was going to be sing that day, after he finished the preparations, he had a litle snooze, than he find himself into a very effective dream,
In his dream he was in dark, there was big chunk, he could hear the waves, bells and gospels, a gospel that he did not hear for a long long time,
the dream was so effective and disturbing , he woke up, and the bells was still in his mind
When he looked at his watch, he understood that it was not so long after he fall into sleep, he tried to sleep, than his dream stated once more, the could still hear the bells, sound of dark waves than a turning over dark mass , Father Morgan woke up in panic, than he went to empty church and noted the number of the gospel to the blackboard, it was the time for service,
Father Morgan started the gospel, while the gospels were playing in the church, the same gospel at the same time was playing in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, Hear Us Holly Father, we are praying for you to the people in danger in the middle of the Ocean. When the gospel finished there were tears on Father Morgan’s eyes.
After the read the gospel he learned the tragedy in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, That day was 14 April 1912
Titanic was lost in the middle of dark cold waters of Atlantic
When Titanic lost in to the deep dark waters of Atlantic,A well known British Journalist was also a passenger of Titanic, in 1892’s he was writing short stories
Along of being a journalist, he was also interested in Life after death, and Spiritualism. and he was making researches about this topic
Do you know what was the name his story he wrote that year? Titanic
Titanic and Titanic and 20 years before Titanic
Like Titanic, in Stead’s Story Titanic hit to an Iceberg in the middle of Atlantic, but in Stead’s story he was describing himself as a survivor
Than 20 years later one of the passengers who drowned in Titanic was Stead himself
There is somebody else but so much later in 1935’s
This time a sailor named William Reeves, A ship was going to Canada from United Kingdom on a cold April night, it was in North Atlantic, they were at the same point where Titanic was lost in deep cold waters of Atlantic
Reeves was thinking of that bad day, but that day was Birthday of Reeves, but his birthday was also important 14 April 1912
He was celebrating his birthday where Titanic lost in deep dark waters of Atlantic, all of a sudden he saw icebergs and they hardly stopped the engines,
In an hour, they were surrounded by icebergs, they were survived by a icebreaker ships 9 days after
Unbelievable but true, mystery of Titanic was surprising,
Titanic is now sleeping in deep dark waters of Atlantic and only visited once by American and French crews in 1985
But how could Stead wrote a story that he was also a character in that story and everything about the Titanic crash was so much similar,
Survivors were telling us :
One Night before the accident, my wife gave me hat with the sign of Whiter Star Company’s Logo, White Star was the company who owned Titanic we were on deck, than all of a sudden a star break into pieces and diffused, my wife told me she did not like that.
Cabin Attended Arthur Lewis
My Father was excited, and my ma was hopeless and i saw her crying for the first time in my life,
She was hopeless, and she was saying something is not going on well,
I was 7 years old, and never saw a ship before in my life, it was so big and everybody was very excited.
We went to the cabin, my father told my ma to relax but my ma sit all night until the accident, i am the only survivor

Do you know that some of the pets of the passengers were in the pet houses in deck? One of them was cost 750 GBP and with today’s money it is 300.000 GBP
Do you know that there was propaganda movie during 2nd world war, it was a story of a German SS Officer hiding in a Ship Named Titanic.

First She was in a ship named Olympic she was a survivor from this crash with Hawke cargo liner,
than she work as a nurse attended at Titanic and she survived
while she was working at Britanic she did not know that she was at her last job.
Legends and myths regarding the RMS Titanic
Contrary to popular mythology, the Titanic was never described as "unsinkable", without qualification, until after she sank.There are three trade publications (one of which was probably never published) that describe the Titanic as unsinkable, prior to her sinking, but there is no evidence that the notion of the Titanic's unsinkability had entered public consciousness until after the sinking.
General arrangement of the 16 main compartments of the Titanic. The double bottom was 7 feet high and divided into 44 watertight compartments. There were additional 13 small compartments above the tank top, e.g. for the shaft tunnels.
The trade journal The Shipbuilder and Marine Engine Builder described in their June 1911 Special Number devoted to the Olympic and Titanic that "The captain may, by simply moving an electric switch, instantly close the watertight doors throughout, making the vessel virtually unsinkable.In fact the vessel was designed to comply with Grade 1 subdivision proposed by the 1891 Bulkhead Committee, meaning that it could stay afloat with any two adjoining out of its 16 main compartments in free communication with the sea. The height of the bulkhead deck above the water line in flooded condition was well above the requirements and the vessel indeed would have been able to float with three adjoining compartments flooded in 11 out of 14 possible combinations.
The first unqualified assertion of the Titanic's unsinkability appears the day after the tragedy (on 16 April 1912) in The New York Times, which quotes Philip A. S. Franklin, vice president of the White Star Line as saying, when informed of the tragedy,
I thought her unsinkable and I based by opinion on the best expert advice available. I do not understand it.[
This comment was seized upon by the press and the idea that the White Star Line had previously declared the Titanic to be unsinkable (without qualification) gained immediate and widespread currency.
David Sarnoff, wireless reports and the use of SOS
An often-quoted story that has been blurred between fact and fiction states that the first person to receive news of the sinking was David Sarnoff, who would later lead media giant RCA. In modified versions of this legend, Sarnoff was not the first to hear the news (though Sarnoff willingly promoted this notion), but he and others did staff the Marconi wireless station (telegraph) atop the Wanamaker Department Store in New York City, and for three days, relayed news of the disaster and names of survivors to people waiting outside. However, even this version lacks support in contemporary accounts. No newspapers of the time, for example, mention Sarnoff. Given the absence of primary evidence, the story of Sarnoff should be properly regarded as a legend.
Despite popular belief, the sinking of Titanic was not the first time the internationally recognised Morse code distress signal "SOS" was used. The SOS signal was first proposed at the International Conference on Wireless Communication at Sea in Berlin in 1906. It was ratified by the international community in 1908 and had been in widespread use since then. The SOS signal was, however, rarely used by British wireless operators, who preferred the older CQD code. First Wireless Operator Jack Phillips began transmitting CQD until Second Wireless Operator Harold Bride suggested half jokingly, "Send SOS; it's the new call, and this may be your last chance to send it." Phillips, then began to intersperse SOS with the traditional CQD call.
Titanic's band
Members of the Titanic's band.
One of the most famous stories of Titanic is of the band. On 15 April Titanic's eight-member band, led by Wallace Hartley, had assembled in the first-class lounge in an effort to keep passengers calm and upbeat. Later they moved on to the forward half of the boat deck. The band continued playing, even when it became apparent the ship was going to sink, and all members perished.
There has been much speculation about what their last song was. A first-class Canadian passenger, Mrs. Vera Dick, alleged that the final song played was the hymn "Nearer, My God, to Thee". Hartley reportedly once said to a friend if he were on a sinking ship, "Nearer, My God, to Thee" would be one of the songs he would play. But Walter Lord's book A Night to Remember popularised wireless operator Harold Bride's 1912 account (New York Times) that he heard the song "Autumn" before the ship sank. It is considered Bride either meant the hymn called "Autumn" or waltz "Songe d'Automne" but neither were in the White Star Line songbook for the band. Bride is the only witness who was close enough to the band, as he floated off the deck before the ship went down, to be considered reliable—Mrs. Dick had left by lifeboat an hour and 20 minutes earlier and could not possibly have heard the band's final moments. The notion that the band played "Nearer, My God, to Thee" as a swan song is possibly a myth originating from the wrecking of the SS Valencia, which had received wide press coverage in Canada in 1906 and so may have influenced Mrs. Dick's recollection. Also, there are two, very different, musical settings for "Nearer, My God, to Thee": one is popular in Britain, and the other is popular in the U.S., and the British melody might sound like the other hymn ("Autumn"). The film A Night to Remember (1958) uses the British setting; while the 1953 film Titanic, with Clifton Webb, uses the American setting.
The stories of W.T. Stead
Main article: William Thomas Stead
Another often cited Titanic legend concerns perished first class passenger William Thomas Stead. According to this folklore, Stead had, through precognitive insight, foreseen his own death on the Titanic. This is apparently suggested in two fictional sinking stories, which he penned decades earlier. The first, (Pall Mall Gazette, 22 March 1886) tells of a mail steamer's collision with another ship, resulting in high loss of life due to lack of lifeboats.
In 1892, Stead published a story called From the Old World to the New, in which a White Star Line vessel, the Majestic, rescues survivors of another ship that collided with an iceberg.
The Titanic curse
When Titanic sank, claims were made that a curse existed on the ship. The press quickly linked the "Titanic curse" with the White Star Line practice of not christening their ships (notwithstanding the opening scene of the film A Night to Remember
One of the most widely spread legends linked directly into the sectarianism of the city of Belfast, where the ship was built. It was suggested that the ship was given the number 390904 which, when read backwards, was claimed to spell "no pope", a sectarian slogan attacking Roman Catholics that was (and is) widely used provocatively by extreme Protestants in Northern Ireland, where the ship was built. In the extreme sectarianism of north-east Ireland (Northern Ireland itself did not exist until 1920), the ship's sinking, though mourned, was alleged to be on account of the sectarian anti-Catholicism of her manufacturers, the Harland and Wolff company, which had an almost exclusively Protestant workforce and an alleged record of hostility towards Catholics. (Harland and Wolff did have a record of hiring few Catholics; whether that was through policy or because the company's shipyard in Belfast's bay was located in almost exclusively Protestant East Belfast—through which few Catholics would dare to travel—or a mixture of both, is a matter of dispute.)
The "no pope" story is in fact an urban legend. RMS Olympic and Titanic were assigned the yard numbers 400 and 401[respectively. The source of the story may have been from reports by dockworkers in Queenstown of anti-Catholic graffiti that they found on Titanic's coalbunkers when they were loading coal.
Sunken Mysteries
In 1985, National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence Dr. Robert Ballard solved one of the greatest nautical mysteries of the 20th century when, while on a top secret naval assignment, he found the final resting place of the RMS Titanic. Now, join the legendary explorer as he reveals the details behind this story of stealth, subs and superpowers ripped from the pages of a Cold War spy thriller. Learn how Ballard's search for Titanic became the cover story to ward off Soviet suspicions, and dive to the ocean floor to explore the covert expeditions that gave Ballard the cutting-edge forensic evidence that would lead him straight to Titanic within a matter of days.
When Dr. Bob Ballard found Titanic, he was actually on a top secret naval mission to analyze two navy submarines that had sunk during the Cold War. Find out background information with these facts about Titanic and Navy submarines.
- Titanic’s fatal collision with an iceberg happened at 11:40 p.m. on April 14, 1912. She went under at 2:20 a.m. on April 15, 1912. The next time she was seen was 1:05 a.m. on September 1, 1985 when the submersible Argo transmitted an image of the downed liner’s boiler to the crew above.
- The RMS in RMS Titanic stands for Royal Mail Steamer. That means that the ship was licensed by the Royal Mail to carry mail overseas. This designation was only issued to the fastest ships due to the time-sensitive nature of mail and therefore was a great asset to a ship.
- Sonar is a technique that finds an object by bouncing sound waves off of it. But sonar can't tell a rock from a hunk of metal. Ballard's cameras delivered the clearest images the Navys ever had at that time, of even the smallest debris.
- Ships in the U.S. Navy are divided into classes according to their basic design and the class bears the name of the first of its design commissioned by Congress. USS Scorpion was an SSN-585 Skipjack class submarine. USS Thresher was an SSN-593 Thresher class. After the loss of Thresher, the class was renamed for the second ship, SSN-594 Permit class.
- Nuclear submarines can stay submerged for extremely long times, and in fact the length of time between surfacings is primarily dictated by the need for food and other supplies.
- Because of limited capacity, every person on board a submarine is trained to operate and repair every system and piece of equipment on the ship.
- On April 10, 1963, the Navy lost communication with Thresher and its 129 crew members approximately 200 miles off the coast of Cape Cod. Research concluded that Thresher, while on a test dive to her limit of about 1300 feet, suffered a power failure, sank, and imploded.
- To this day, the Navy can’t say for certain why Scorpion fell below its crush depth and imploded. Surveys of the wreck, 400 miles southwest of the Azores, conclude there is no evidence the Soviets sank the sub. However, varying theories continue to generate debate over the cause of the accident.
