Silent American actress Dorothy Gibson was among 700
survivors of the tragedy, and after arriving in New York after surviving the
sinking, she immediately began making a movie, SeaWed the Titanic, on the
sinking of the ship. Was the first film to be released and was released in May
1912. It is said that the costumes and shoes he wore in the film were the ones
on his body when the ship sank. The film also proved successful but now it has
no print, as the only print was burned in a blaze.

By the way, the accommodation provided to the passengers of
the Third Class cabin in Titanic was significantly better than that of other
ships of that time, but still bad, the total number of passengers in the Third
Class cabins was 700. There were between a thousand and they only had 2
bathtubs for bathing.
The courage of the makers

In fact, all of the members of the Titanic's orchestra were
called heroes, as they continued to play music for more than 2 hours after the
collision with Iceberg, and the series ended when they were all submerged,
aimed at passengers. There was an attempt to keep calm.

In fact, the crew on the plane could not see the Iceberg in
time because they did not have binoculars, and the reason for the absence is
astounding. In fact, the ship had binoculars and was not too far away from the
crew, but could not be used, because the second officer of the ship was changed
at last and he forgot to give the key to the locker, which contained
binoculars. Were kept. That key was auctioned off in 2007 at 90 thousand
pounds.

Inaccurate reporting of newspapers

In the race to publish the news of the accident, several
newspapers conveyed this misinformation to the families of the victims, no
passengers were killed when the ship sank. The then-famous newspaper The World
published an anomaly report, the Daily Mail and the Belfast Telegraph reported
similar news. In contrast, US newspapers made considerable headlines, taking
advantage of the time difference, as the New York Times wrote that after the
collision with Iceberg, the Titanic sank, Carpetha saved 866, possibly 1250.

Morgan Robertson, an American author, predicted a novel "Futility" similar to this one 12 years before the Titanic crash in 1898, revolving around a Titan shipwreck, and the details given in the novel. They are astonishingly similar to the sinking of the Titanic. The first thing was the names of the ships, which were only 2 characters apart, namely Titan and Titanic, the size of the ship in the novel was the same as the Titanic was announced, and like the novel Titanic, the number of lifeboats was very small. The author later said that the reason for such a similarity between the two was that they had so much information 'I knew what I was writing and just'.

The SS California ship Titanic was only a few kilometers away at the time of the crash, but could not help the unlucky ones, because the SS California radio was closed at night when the Titanic collided with Iceberg. Like when the California captain was awakened after the lights were thrown from the Titanic, he thought it was just fireworks, and when the SO message reached them, it was too late. Surprisingly, SS California did not swim for long and was hit by a torpedo of German submarines in November 1915.

There are at least 15 eyewitnesses who said that before the sinking the Titanic was split into 2 pieces and then went into the sea, but was ignored, but the official US investigation said the entire ship was submerged. The dispute lasted for 73 years, and after being found in the rubble, it was proved that it was actually split into 2 pieces.
