For some period of time during the sinking, Titanic had to vent the excess steam that had built up in her boilers. The sound of the steam being vented was quite loud, so loud that the wireless operators were unable to make out the messages they were receiving. This leads me to ask: how long was...

Two young, curly-haired boys were taken by their father, boarded on the Titanic, and later survived the sinking – unlike their father. Without a parent or guardian, no one could figure out who they were on the other side of the accident...

Millvinia [sic] Dean, the last surviving passenger of the RMS Titanic, died in 2009.

The devastating disaster has been the subject of a lot of mystery after the famous ship went down on April 15, 1912, after striking an iceberg, during her maiden voyage from Southampton, UK, to New York City. However, many have questioned why no one on the ship had spotted the iceberg until it...
