23. The Mysteries of the Titanic
While the Titanic is one of the most famous ships to ever sail, the hard facts and numbers are still somewhat uncertain. Death counts and passenger counts are often debated. What is clear is the timing of the ships sinking. It is strange that we have such hard documentation of every minute of the sinking, but muddy numbers when it comes to how many people were actually on the ship, how many survived and how many died. It is likely one of the reasons the Titanic is still talked about today. The mysteries keep it alive in our minds.
Some of the confusion may come from the reports that were published shortly after the sinking. Many didn’t know the exact numbers or were misinformed. That information then became factual later on or at least added to the debates that are still held today.
