LITTLE KNOWN FACTS ABOUT THE TITANIC

The first Titanic movie was made less than a month

after the disaster and featured an actress that

survived the sinking.

Kim Il-Sung, the founder of North Korea, was born on the same day

that the Titanic sank.

Out of 12 dogs that were on board, three survived.

It took 73 years to find the Titanic's wreckage.

Kate Winslet, the main actress in the movie Titanic (1997), has expressed

her dislike of the theme song "My Heart Will Go On". She even said it

would make her feel like throwing up to hear it.

Modern ships are actually more likely to encounter an iceberg

than the Titanic was.

The iceberg that the Titanic collided with started its journey nearly

2,000 years ago.

None of the 30 engineers on board survived. They stayed behind to

keep the power on for as long as possible so that others could escape.

More than half of the people on the Titanic would have fit into the

lifeboats but only less than 1/3 of them actually made it.
