Titan Unsinkable facts

While investigating facts about Titan Unsinkable, I found out little known, but curios details like:

A coal stoker named Arthur John Priest survived the sinking of five ships, including the Titanic, earning the nickname "The Unsinkable Stoker"

14 years prior to Titanic tragedy, there was novel featuring the 'biggest ship ever built', an ocean liner called Titan, the "unsinkable", which sinks after hitting an iceberg

In my opinion, it is useful to put together a list of the most interesting details from trusted sources that I've come across. Here are 32 of the best facts about Titan Unsinkable I managed to collect.

1. 14 years prior to Titanic sinking, the book Futility told the story of an unsinkable ship "Titan" which also struck an iceberg on it's starboard side in the North Atlantic on an April night. The fictitious ship closely matched the Titanic's length, weight, speed, capacity, and lack of lifeboats.

2. There was a second Titanic. The Titanic was one of 3 ships called the Olympic Cruisers. The reason why the actual Titanic was called 'unsinkable' was because its sister ship, the Olympic, had a years history of crashing into stuff and refusing to go down.

3. Violet Jessop, “Miss Unsinkable,” the woman who survived the sinking of the sister ships the Titanic and the Britannic, and was also aboard the third of the trio of Olympic class vessels, the Olympic, when it had a major accident.

4. In 1912 the Titanic sank in the Atlantic Ocean after having been called an unsinkable ship. It struck an iceberg on its maiden voyage across the Atlantic to America.

5. 14 years prior to the sinking of the Titanic, an author named Morgan Robertson wrote Wreck of the Titan, or Futility. A book about an unsinkable ocean liner that strikes an iceberg and sinks in the Northern Atlantic.

6. The "unsinkable" ship the Titanic was built in Ireland.

7. Boats are made very strong but some still sink if they collide with other boats or objects. The passenger ferry called Dona Paz collided with an oil tanker in 1987, resulting in 4,375 deaths. In 1912 the Titanic, a ship that was considered unsinkable, struck an iceberg and sunk. 1517 people died when the ship went down.

8. 15 years before the Titanic a US author (Morgan Robertson) wrote a prescient book that described the wreck of the Titan, an ocean-going “unsinkable” liner that hit an iceberg in the middle of the Atlantic and sank with huge loss of life. Fascinating foresight, even down to the ship's name.

9. The Titanic's older sister ship, the Olympic, was sort of unsinkable; it crashed into a variety of things without sinking and was once used in WWI to ram and sink a German U-boat.

10. The the ship builders Harland and Wolff insist that the Titanic was never marketed as 'unsinkable'. They credit people's interpretations of articles in the Irish news and Shipbuilder magazine with beginning the rumor. They also say that the myth got worse after the disaster.
