Did you know

• Famous American author Morgan Robertson published a novella titled "The Wreck of the Titan" in 1898. It is a fictional story about a large passenger liner that struck an iceberg while sailing in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Ironically, the storyline in Robertson's book contains very striking resemblances to the events of the R.M.S. Titanic, despite it being written fourteen years earlier.

• One of the Irish passengers, Patrick A. O'Keefe, was a young man who boarded the Titanic when he was twenty-one-years-old of. Just a few days before he entered the Titanic, he had horrific dreams of the ship sinking and nearly cancelled his ticket. However, he decided to board on the ship anyway. Once the Titanic was sinking, he managed to survive on the "collapsible B" life raft. He died in 1939 in Manhattan from unknown causes at the age of forty-eight.

• Gray O'Brien, who plays Ismay, also starred as a passenger on an extraterrestrial interstellar starship replica of the Titanic in the 2007 Doctor Who TV Special "Voyage of the Damned". His character in that special also has an arrogant personality like Ismay is commonly portrayed to have in Titanic films.
