The RMS Titanic was, is, and will be known to be the famous ship. This well-known British Passenger ship when created was considered as the largest ship of all time. It was the second ship of Olympic-class out of three, constructed by the White Star Line in the shipyard of Harland and Wolff; Belfast and its designs were made by Thomas Andrews.

Besides its big size and great construction that led to its international fame, there was indeed another side of a picture too. On the very unfortunate morning of 15th April 1912, the ship struck with an iceberg in the North Atlantic Ocean during its first journey from Southampton to New York City. The statistics showed a massive death of about 1,500 people in the accident.

In the following article, will be covering some unknown, mysteriously beautiful pictures of the ship that you probably haven’t viewed before.

5. The Accident Killed Innocent Children:









The tragic accident killed 53 innocent children out of 109 on the ship when the ship collided with the iceberg.

6. Ticket to Hell:









The luxurious but unfortunate ship was worthy of the huge cost. A cost of the first-class ticket was $4,350. While that of second-class was $1,750. The third-class and definitely the most low-price class was worth only $30.

7. The Book on the Same Incident:









In 1898, an author Morgan Robertson wrote a book with the name of The Wreck of the Titan: Or, Futility. The book was about the largest ship, Titan, that after colliding with an iceberg sank forever in the dark vicinity of the ocean. It was written some fourteen years back to the incident of Titanic. The relation and coincidence of the book and the Titanic were beyond imagination.

8. The Ship Had Mostly the Male Crew:









The total number of officers on the ship was 885. And surprisingly, only 23 officers were female on the board.

13. The Man Who Saw the Iceberg:









William McMaster, the first officer who signaled the turning of the ship when a spotter targeted him of the deadly iceberg in a distance. Many people think that the ship wouldn’t have sunk if William’s command hadn’t followed.

14. The Boss and Captain:









Edward J. Smith was the captain of the Titanic. It was supposed to be his last voyage before waving bye to the sea journey. His ending words for his crew were, “Well boys, do your best for the women and children, and look out for yourself.”

15. Captain Knew About the Dangers of Ice:









Four days back before the ship voyage, it was alarmed by six different times about the ice risks in the sea. But, still they insisted on taking the voyage and it was indeed a terrible decision.

16. Out of Binoculars:









It seemed as if the people standing on the Titanic’s crow’s nest were out of binoculars. Otherwise, they must have seen the iceberg and notify the crew.

17. The Part of Orchestra:









As the film Titanic portrays that during its wreckage, the musicians were playing orchestra. It was 100% correct. During the sinking of Titanic, they played orchestra so as to calm the panicky and frightened passengers on the ship.

24. Ships to Carry Dead Bodies:









After the incident, 8 ships were sent to the spot to collect the dead bodies from the water.

25. No Living Survivor of Titanic:









All the surviving peoples of the Titanic are dead now. The last survivor of the Titanic accident was Elizabeth Gladys Millvina Dean who died in 2009.
