Passengers had different descriptions for how the collision felt, from "a slight tremor" to — as described in "Shadow of the Titanic" — "as though The Titanic had passed over a thousand marbles.

If only four of the Titanic's watertight compartments had been breached, it would have stayed afloat. The iceberg sliced through six.

If the ship had hit the berg head on, Titanic probably would have survived because of the strength of its bulkheads.

The Titanic's crew failed to fire correct distress signals after hitting the iceberg. Random rockets were fired, but according to the British inquiry into the wreck, the message sent by the rockets' pattern never signaled "distress." Instead, the incorrect rocket pattern signaled to any ship in the area the message: "I'm having navigation problem. Please stand clear."

A nearby vessel could be seen off the port side of the Titanic, but the ship's identity remains a mystery. The ship probably was either the Californian or a sealer called the Sampson. Had it responded, the ship would have arrived in time to save many Titanic passengers.

The waltz "Songe d'Automne," not "Nearer My God to Thee," was almost certainly the last song played by the Titanic orchestra, although the debate about the last song continues

The ship's doom was hastened when crewman opened a gangway door to try to load lifeboats from a lower level. They couldn't reclose it, and seawater rushed in.

Margaret "Molly" Brown, social activist, U.S. Senate candidate and estranged wife of a Colorado silver mine operator, would go on to become famous in Hollywood as "The Unsinkable." During the Titanic sinking, she famously told the crewman on her lifeboat that she would throw him overboard if he kept berating the women.

Perfume salesman Adolphe Saalfeld lost his sample case of bottles in the sinking. He survived. Decades later, the bottles and the scents inside were recovered from the Titanic wreck and exhibited.

Chief Baker Charles Joughin helped load bread into the lifeboats. Apparently immunized to freezing cold waters by the whiskey he had drunk, Joughin reportedly survived several hours swimming in the ocean before being rescued.
