Ghosts of the Titanic

Product Information

His father was interviewed by the Northern Daily Telegraph weeks after the fateful night, and stated his son was “down in the dumps” prior to the voyage. When he asked his son: “What are you afraid of? Are you afraid of death?” Jonathan replied, “No, I’m not afraid of death, but I don’t want to go”. His father also stated: “My lad did not want to go on Titanic, he would rather have stopped on Olympic.” General arrangement of the 16 main compartments of Titanic. The double bottom was 7feet high and divided into 44 watertight compartments. There were additional 13 small compartments above the tank top, e.g., for the shaft tunnels. [5] Marshall, Logan (2012).

The Victoria School of Art and Design, a precursor to the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, boasted eminent teachers, including Group of Seven painter Arthur Lismer who interestingly and coincidentally did a painting of the Titanic’s sister ship, Olympic, in wartime dazzle during World War I.

ISBN 978-0-691-12940-2.Contrary to popular mythology, Titanic was never described as " unsinkable", without qualification, until after she sank. [2] [3] Three trade publications (one of which was probably never published) described Titanic as practically unsinkable prior to her sinking. Many survivors recalled in video interviews as well as in testimony that they had considered the ship "unsinkable". Shipbuilder Harland and Wolff did not claim she was unsinkable, but a promotional item from the White Star Line stressed the safety of Olympic and Titanic, claiming that "as far as it is possible to do so, these two wonderful vessels are designed to be unsinkable". [4] Claims by trade publications that vessels were unsinkable or being practically unsinkable were not unique to the Olympic-class ocean liners or other White Star ships. Similar claims were made about the Cunarders Lusitania and Mauretania, and German liners Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse and Kaiser Wilhelm II. Advanced safety features on these liners were heavily publicised, de-emphasising the likelihood of these ships' sinking in a serious accident. Amos, Jonathan (20 June 2023).

In May 2023, the mapping company Magellan and the film production company Atlantic Productions created the first full-sized digital scan of the Titanic, using deep-sea mapping. The 3D view of the entire ship enables it to be seen as if the water has been drained away. It is hoped the scan can shed new light on the sinking. [77] Broad, William A. (17 October 1995).

Smith has also been seen at his former childhood home, in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, central England. Smith resided at the home until he went to sea, at 13. His ghost has been seen in the bedroom drifting across the room, by former residents. The owner at the time of the Titanic centennial stated that one of their tenants rang them up one day years before, to say that he was convinced he had witnessed Smith’s ghost drift across the bedroom, while in bed. The previous owners experienced a flood in the kitchen and said an icy chill was felt in the dining room. Other former residents have said they felt a chill passing over them - “as cold as an iceberg”. Strange noises also have been heard. Other tales from the Luxor Exhibit include the ghostly vandalism of a portrait of Bruce Ismay, one of the designers of Titanic. When the ship began to sink, Ismay abandoned her and boarded a lifeboat instead of helping others find their way to safety. Luxor employees say that the ghosts of those Ismay left to their deaths shake his portrait off the walls at night, letting everyone know they haven’t forgotten Ismay’s betrayal. 4.

According to Louise and Neil Bonner, owners of the former home of Titanic Captain Edward John Smith, the shipmaster likes to make it known that he is still there. The couple has spent the last decade renting the 19th century Victorian out and their tenants have reported the same unexplained icy chills passing through them, strange noises, and even full-bodied apparitions of the Captain. The property has also suffered a flood in the kitchen and unusually cold gusts in the dining room.
