6Bad Conditions
Fact: Conditions On The Boat Were Far From Palatial
Despite being surrounded by water, it seems that on the actual ship there really wasn’t that much to go round. Long before the days of power showers, people had to rely on the good old bath tub. And although sharing them was common practice back in the day, third class passengers had to share two baths, one for men, one for women, between 700 people. That’s right. 700 people. That’s an awfully long wait for a scrub in the tub.

5. Real Hero
Fact: Leonardo Dicaprio Wasn’t The Real Hero, Second Officer Lightoller Was
2nd Officer Charles Herbert Lightoller was the most senior officer to survive the Titanic. Taking charge of an overturned lifeboat, Lightolller then suppressed panic and took control of all 30 survivors on the boat ensuring their safe passage onboard rescue vessel, RMS Carpathia. Lightoller wasn’t just a hero on the Titanic either. He served with the British Navy in World War I and World War II—helping soldiers evacuate Dunkirk at the latter.
Conversely, Douglas Spedden was just 6 years old when his nurse got him off the Titanic and on to a lifeboat. Although the young lad survived, tragically he was killed just three years later. He was struck by a car in what was one of the first ever recorded automobile accidents in the state of Maine, USA.

4. Posthumous Bill
Fact: “Sorry To Hear About The Tragic Death Of Your Son. Here’s The Bill”
As the legend goes, the eight members of the all-male Titanic orchestra went down with the ship—still playing their instruments. Only three bodies were ever recovered, including that of John Hume Law. Shockingly, just two short weeks after the tragic events, Law’s father would receive a bill from C.W. and F.N. Black, the employment firm from Liverpool, England who had employed the orchestra. The bill was for 5 shillings and 4 pennies – the cost of Law’s son’s uniform. In stark contrast, at the Apollo Club in Brooklyn, New York, a month after the sinking, a concert was performed in memory of the ship’s orchestra. All proceeds went to the mourning families.

3. Not A Big Deal
Fact: Titanic Might Be A Big Deal Now But It Wasn’t Back Then
Regardless of what you see in the movies, the White Star Line never made any claims that the Titanic was ‘unsinkable’. In fact, it appears that nobody really cared about the Titanic’s maiden voyage at all. The Olympic—Titanic’s sister ship—was the one in the limelight when it journeyed from Southampton to New York in 1911. The truth is, there wasn’t even any footage of the Titanic leaving British shores and when the news wires realized they didn’t have anything to show in the picture houses once the tragedy struck, they used images of the Olympic instead, with any clear Titanic markings scratched off the reels.

2. Publicity Stunt
Fact: The Titanic Was Used As A Nazi Publicity Stunt
Some thirty odd years after the sinking of the Titanic, the publicity wing of the Nazi Party released Nazi Titanic, commissioned by none other than propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels. In an odd interpretation of the facts, Nazi Titanic tells the tale of a vessel attempting to cross the Atlantic in record time, in order to boast the White Star Line share price. Whereas in real life the lookouts—Fredrick Fleet and Reginald Lee, both Englishmen—spotted the iceberg, in Nazi Titanic, the man who could have saved the ship from disaster was of course the German First Officer, who’s warning was ignored.
Furthermore, in real life, J Bruce Ismay—the English chairman and managing director of the White Star Line—was vilified by the international press for stealing a lifeboat all for himself. In Goebbels’ retelling, he even managed to exaggerated this, depicting Ismay, of course, as a Jewish businessman who bullies the captain—again, a German—into ploughing through the iceberg and killing pretty much everyone on board (an act which James Cameron also has Ismay perform in his 1997 epic).
Ismay’s story is perhaps the most butchered in any and all fictional accounts of the sinking. The true Ismay was anything but the selfish man he was painted as. During the British Inquiry Report of 1912, it’s leader Lord Mersey concluded that Ismay had in fact helped other passengers off the ship before he himself departed in the last lifeboat. Perhaps the stigma allotted to Ismay was the fact that he was the highest-ranking White Star official of all the 713 survivors.
