Facts about the Titanic that are ACTUALLY true - The Titanic was never actually described as ‘unsinkable’ - The Titanic designers and builders never said it was unsinkable. It had a system of bulkheads that should have made it more difficult to sink, but the bulkheads were not high enough. So if they were flooded over the top, then overspill would flood the next one, and so on. The Titanic had a swimming pool on board - The Swimming Bath of the Titanic was located on F Deck above boiler room 5. The room was for First Class passengers only. The Swimming bath was part of the Turkish bath complex. The pool was open to women from 10 AM until 1 PM and open to men from 2 PM until 6 PM The Titanic had two sister ships - RMS Titanic was one of three Olympic-class ocean liners built between 1908 and 1915. Her sister ships were RMS Olympic and HMHS Britannic. While the sinking of Titanic made her the most famous ship in the world, her siblings have been largely forgotten. The Titanic carried post - For the postal workers onboard the RMS Titanic, the maiden voyage of such a mighty cruise liner would have been an exciting time. As a ship contracted to carry mail, the Titanic had its own Post Office and mailroom, on decks F and G respectively, deep in the ship. There were only enough lifeboats for a third of the people on board - There were 20 life boats on board, which would have held a capacity of 1178 people. Meanwhile the capacity of Titanic was 3320 people. Yikes!
