Entertainment in 1912?

Answer
Ballet, Opera and Symphony. Irrespective of country this was the best entertainment. The most ELITE. Sporting activities were big also like boxing. It all depended on what social position an individual was a part of.

Silent movies were a major part of popular entertainment in 1919 - although, not a great year for memorable movies. The most acclaimed movies of the year were probably D.W. Griffith's romance, "Broken Blossoms", starring Lillian Gish and Cecil B deMille's "Male and Female", starring Gloria Swanson. Comedy shorts starring Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd and Roscoe 'Fatty' Arbuckle were popular as were westerns starring Tom Mix and the swashbuckling adventures of Douglas Fairbanks.

Roller skating was a major craze in the first quarter of the 20th century and was reaching it's peak around this time - having featured in Chaplin's movie, "The Rink", in 1916. The Coliseum in Chicago opened a skating rink in 1902 with over 7000 people attending on its first night. In 1908, Madison Square Garden in New York became a skating rink, to be followed by hundreds of similar venues in the US and europe.

Sporting events were popular, as always - live, of course. It would be another 3 years or more before the first public radio broadcasts. 1919, however, was the year in which gramophone records first started to become available to a mass market - replacing phonograph cylinders in popularity and starting a shift towards entertainment in the home.

Did titanic and all it's sister ships sink?

No.

Titanic had two sister ships, Olympic and Britannic. Olympic was the first of the trio of ships, and she sailed the Atlantic successfully until 1935, although with two major mishaps, a collision with the British warship HMS Hawke in 1911, and a collision with the Nantucket Lightship in 1934 which sliced the Lightship in half; seven of the 11 Lightship crew members were killed. The third of the sister ships, completed after Titanic, was Britannic. There is some indication that she was to be named Gigantic, but the name was changed to Britannic after the Titanic tragedy. Britannic never sailed in commercial passenger service; she served as a hospital ship for the Royal Navy on the eve of World War I. In November of 1916 Britannic struck a mine and sank in the Aegean Sea.

Where can you see the flag that inspired the writing of the star spangled banner?

Ludwig van Beethoven was born in Bonn, Germany. His father, who was a singer, was his first teacher. After a while, even though he was still only a boy, Ludwig became a traveling performer, and soon, he was supporting his family.

In his early twenties, Beethoven moved to Vienna, where he spent the rest of his life. Beethoven was one of the first composers to make a living without being employed by the church or a member of the nobility. At first, he was known as a brilliant pianist. But when he was around 30 years old, Beethoven started going deaf. Even though he could no longer hear well enough to play the piano, Beethoven composed some of his best music after he was deaf!

Beethoven is considered one of the greatest musical geniuses who ever lived. He may be most famous for his nine symphonies, but he also wrote many other kinds of music: chamber and choral music, piano music and string quartets, and an opera.

How much coal did the RMS Titanic have on board when it left England?

The Titanic was a nuclear vessel.... but ran on electricity

The above answer is complete baloney. The data from the white star line shows that;

The ship was fitted with 29 boilers and 159 furnaces. (24 double ended boilers and 5 single ended boilers) Over 8,000 tons of coal filled her coal bunkers. The coal fired furnaces heated water in the boilers to generate steam. The steam (215 psi) was then funneled to the tipple expansion engines. Once the steam entered the engine cylinder it created the necessary power to turn the propellers. If the turbine was not in use, such as reverse orders to the helm or entering or leaving port, lost steam would condense in evaporators and the water would be returned to the boilers. Controlling the amount of steam fed to the engines controlled the speed of the ship. Exhaust was vented through Titanic's first 3 funnels, the fourth was a dummy funnel used for ventilation and storage. Many Titanic enthusiasts enjoy pointing out errors in various Titanic movies and artwork by noticing smoke coming from the 4th funnel.
