• Cost to build the ship Titanic:  $7.5-million

• Cost to make Titanic, the movie (1997): $200 million-plus

• Price of single first-class passage:  $4,700

• Price of single first-class passage in today's dollars: $50,000

• Number of Titanic's four smokestacks that were operational: 3

(fourth, nearest the stern, was to make the ship look larger and increase her overall tonnage)
 
• The original design called for 32 lifeboats. However, White Star management felt that the boat-deck

would look cluttered, and reduced the number to 20, for a total life-boat capacity of 1178. This actually
exceeded the regulations of the time, even though Titanic was capable of carrying over 3500 people

• During the filming of a TITANIC movie: A Night to Remember (1958), Lawrence Beesley, who had survived the Titanic disaster, was hired as a consultant. Watching the production, Beesley decided that he wanted his chance to be among the passengers who did not survive. Unfortunately, he was not a member of the actors' union. So he forged a pass, boarded the "Titanic," and stood with the extras who were preparing to "die." But "right at the last minute, as the cameras were due to roll, the director spotted [him] . . . Picking up his megaphone, he instructed the amateur impostor kindly to disembark." Beesley had missed his chance to explore "an alternative version of history." (Adapted from Inquiry: Mysteries of the Titanic -by Stephen Cox)

 
• Both Titanic's sister ships – RMS Olympic & HMHS Britannic – ended up with eerily similar fates.

"But if the truths were sometimes strange, the fictions certainly rival them. Walter Lord reported that after A NIGHT TO REMEMBER was published in 1955, he received several letters from Ireland explaining the "real" reason that Titanic sank. Purportedly, the hull number assigned to Titanic as it was being built in Belfast, "390904," had a secret meaning:
 

If you hand-write this number making the '4' rather angular and exaggerated, add a space, and then hold it up to a mirror, it seems to spell "No Pope." Clearly, the letters opined, the UlsterProtestants who built Titanic had assigned her this coded message on purpose, and divine retribution had ensued. On the other side of the coin, many people in England firmly believed that hundreds of Belfast steel workers went down with the ship, despite the illogic of this assertion, since their job had been finished almost a year before."   http://www.titanicmovie.com/
(You could say this little assertion didn't hold any water.)
