Facts


Sep 1999
Upon the death of Eleanor Shuman (at age 87) on March 7, 1998, there where only six living survivors of Titanic; Barbara West (age 90) and Milvina Dean (age 86) in England. Louise LaRoche (age 87) and Michael Navratil (age 90) in France. Lillian Aspelund (age 92) and Winnifred Vatongerloo (age 94) in the United States.
Oct 1999
First class passengers enjoyed the most luxurious accommodations available at sea, including reading and smoking salons, library, swimming pool, Turkish bath, gymnasium, and squash court. Food and drink were served in the elegant dining saloon, the more intimate a 'la carte restaurant; the festive Cafe Parisian; and the chic Palm Court and Verandah restaurant.
Nov 1999
Passenger Margaret "Molly" Brown, wife of Colorado millionaire, was returning from a winter abroad and excursion to Egypt with the Astors. Her heroism and selflessness during the disaster (she effectively assumes command of her lifeboat and persuaded the other women to help with the rowing) earned her the moniker the "Unsinkable Molly Brown."
Dec 1999
The original design for Titanic called for 32 lifeboats. However, White Star management felt that the deck would look cluttered, and reduced the number to 20, for a total lifeboat capacity of 1178 people. This actually exceeded the regulations of the time, even though Titanic was capable of carrying over 3500 people (passengers and crew).
