The following men are confirmed as Freemasons who were aboard the R.M.S. Titanic when it sunk:
There may be more, but these are all that I can confirm at this time.
Yes. There were two -- the RMS Olympic and the HMHS Britannic.
Of nine dogs, two survived: a Pekinese and a Pomeranian.
It stands for "Royal Mail Ship". Other people say it stands for "Royal Majesties' Ship". The RMS Titanic was indeed a Royal Mail Ship. Royal Majesties is incorrect; the only thing RMS stands for is Royal Mail Ship. Look up any history of the Titanic, and you will see that it was a mail ship. Some of the artifacts in the traveling Titanic exhibition include correspondence, bank drafts and other official papers being transported to North America.
The Titanic had two sister ships - the RMS Olympic which lasted 25 glorious years on the sea and the HMHS Britannic which was originally to be name the Gigantic and sunk after striking a mine.
RMS Titanic - on Wikipedia the free encyclopaedia has a link under 'see also' to a full detailed list.
The Titanic's sister ships were called the Olympic and the Britannic. The Olympic was the 'lead ship' and built first. The Britannic was built after the Titanic and was originally going to be called the Gigantic.
212 out of 908 crew members survived
The White Star's Olympic class of steam ships included HHMS Britannic, RMS Titanic and RMS Olympic. Britannic was the last one built before the First World War. It was used as a hospital ship, sunk by a naval mine and sunk in 1916. All but 30 people survived.
There have been thousands of ships that have sunk or been wrecked in the Atlantic. One famous wreck is the RMS Titanic
Yes actually. Five survivors lived to be over 100. The oldest was Mary (Wilburn) Davis who lived to be 104.
The initials RMS are associated with the Titanic and many other ships. They stand for Royal Mail Ship. A ship contracted to carry mail for the British Royal Mail can use these initials.
There were many facilities available on Titanic. She had two barber shops, two libraries, a gymnasium, a turkish bath, two masseuses, (and her and Olympic had): the first heated swimming pool for any sailing vessel and the first squash court for any sailing vessel.
