Is there anybody who died on the titanic before April 15th? Because I was born exactly 90 years after the titanic initially HIT the iceberg, April 14th, 2002. I’ve always found both this potential coincidence and the titanic itself interesting, so I just wanted to know and couldn’t really find anything about it. I’m not sure if I believe in reincarnation, though idrk.

I know it wasn’t 1930-whatever as most people believe, but when WAS she scrapped?

So, I have recently been wonder about what happened to the flags that were on titanic when she sank, and so, I searched it on, well, Google and it only came up with pics of the white star flag and that which are NOT on the wreck. Does anyone know if these have been recovered or something? I REALLY want to know where the flags that were ACTUALLY on the ship ended up on the wreck

This is a question I've always wondered if there were emergency lights on the Titanic

The celestial tapestry in the night the Titanic sank as per Neil DeGrasse Tyson.

Hello! :)

Can someone tell me please, what is the size of these side lights on the boat deck, rounded in red (Picture from "Titanic - Honor & Glory") ? Do you think they are the same size as the skid lights?

Thank you in advance!

I thought it interesting to research the life of a coal stoker on a TITANIC era ship. One thing I see a lot here in Appalachia is the dreaded black lung from those who work in the mines. Stokers really had the worst job it seems, apparently black lung was a thing for stokers as well. Black Lung is officially called Coal Workers Pneumoconiosis. With that in mind I wonder if the White Star Line had any workers compensation in the event a stoker had to give up work due to the illness or maybe a pension?
