Gates separating the third-class spaces from the other classes were kept locked even after the collision, according to some first-hand reports.

At 11:40 p.m., Frederick Fleet was the first person on the Titanic to see the iceberg, describing it as something "even darker than the darkness." http://www.jsonline.com/entertainment/100-unsinkable-facts-about-the-titanic-2t4psu6-147436195.html
|
The ocean waters passengers fell into that night were below the freezing point but not frozen because of the salt content.
|
The Titanic's crew failed to fire correct distress signals after hitting the iceberg. Random rockets were fired, but according to the British inquiry intothe wreck, the message sent by the rockets' pattern never signaled "distress." Instead, the incorrect rocket pattern signaled to any ship in the area the message: "I'm having navigation problem. Please stand clear."
|
The SS Californian was criticised for ignoring the Titanic’s distress signals. She was later by a German submarine. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/lists/Titanic-40-fascinating-facts/ http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2012/04/the-technology-that-allowed-the-titanic-survivors-to-survive/255848/

26 of those on board were honeymooning couples.

The ship broke in two at around 2.20am on April 15, and sunk, sending all remaining passengers into the ocean. The temperature would have been -2 °C few would have survived longer than 15 minutes in the water, while around one in five would have died within two minutes from cold shock. Charles Joughin, however, the ship’s baker, reportedly tread water for two hours before being rescued with little ill-effects. He claimed he had not felt the cold due to the amount of whiskey he had drunk.
|
Only 306 bodies were found. The dead were taken to Halifax, Nova Scotia. Its Maritime Museum has a dedicated section that includes a deckchair recovered from the wreck, mortuary bags, and the shoes of an unknown victim.
|
The ship received six warnings about icebergs during the voyage.
|
Edward Smith, the ship’s captain, also went down with the vessel. His last words were “"Well boys, you've done your duty and done it well. I ask no more of you. I release you. You know the rule of the sea. It's every man for himself now, and God bless you. " A statue of him can be seen in Lichfield, Staffordshire. dominique

First Officer William McMaster Murdoch ordered the ship to turn, but it was too large to do so in time. It has been suggested that the ship would not have sunk if it hit the iceberg head-on. Murdoch went down with the ship; a memorial to him is found in his hometown of Dalbeattie, Kirkcudbrightshire, Scotland.

The iceberg was around 100 feet tall and came from a glacier in Greenland.
|
The iceberg was spotted at 11.40pm on April 14, 1912, by lookout Frederick Fleet, who proclaimed: “Iceberg! Right ahead!” Fleet survived the disaster and was a lookout on the RMS Oceanic during the Twenties, before serving in the Second World War. Pranksters placed a pair of binoculars on his grave in 2012 with a note “sorry they’re 100 years too late”.
|
The last remaining survivor of the disaster, Millvina Dean, died on May 31, 2009, aged 97. She was two months old at the time.
|
Twenty horses were required to carry the main anchor.
|
There were 246 injuries and two deaths recorded during the ship’s 26 month construction in Belfast.
|
There were 20,000 bottles of beer on board, 1,500 bottles of wine and 8,000 cigars all for the use of first-class passengers.
|
The ship burned around 600 tonnes of coal a day hand shovelled into its furnaces by a team of 176 men. Almost 100 tonnes of ash were ejected into the sea each day.
