It's more likely that they played a French waltz called 'Songe d'Automne.' The most reliable accounts I've heard mention that song," Gowan said.

Passenger staterooms have largely deteriorated because they were framed in perishable softwoods such as pine, leaving hanging electrical wire, light fixtures and debris interspersed with more durable items like brass bed frames, light fixtures, and marble-topped washstands. Woodwork with attachments like doorknobs, drawer-pulls or push-plates have survived in better condition because of the small electric charge emitted by metal which repels fish and other organisms. Hardwoods like teak and mahogany, the material for most stateroom furnishings, are more resistant to decay. Lavatories and bathrooms within the passenger quarters have resisted decay because they were framed in steel. According to one Titanic researcher, “it is said that a male ghost, thought to be violinist John Woodward, has been seen in the orchestra pit - but no-one has seen him recently, sadly”.

Fairview Lawn CemeteryTitanic’s monstrous size and extravagance was part of a plan by the Aberdeen White Star Line to create a new breed of massive, lavish ocean liners. The White Star Line sailing clipper fleet had been founded in 1845 to transport prospectors rushing to Australia in search of recently discovered gold. Eventually the company began building steamships, famously operating a high-class passenger service between Britain and North America. In an attempt to compete with the Cunard Line’s pair of speedy, quadruple-funneled liners, the Lusitania and Mauritania, White Star hatched a plan in 1907 to build its Olympic-class luxury liners — three ships larger, heavier, and far more opulent than any the world had seen. Each ship got progressively larger, starting with the 45,000-ton Olympic, launched in 1910. Yet the ambitious Olympic liners were doomed from the start. The Olympic was plagued with mechanical problems, the Britannic sank in the Aegean Sea after colliding with a mine or a torpedo, and as for the Titanic … The most dramatic deterioration has been caused by biological factors. It used to be thought that the depths of the ocean were a lifeless desert, but research carried out since the mid-1980s has found that the ocean floor is teeming with life and may rival the tropical rainforests for biodiversity. [109] During the 1991 IMAX expedition, scientists were surprised by the variety of organisms that they found in and around the Titanic. A total of 28 species were observed, including sea anemones, crabs, shrimp, starfish, and rattail fish up to a yard (1 m) long. [90] Much larger creatures have been glimpsed by explorers. [110]

John Woodward was one of the musicians aboard the Titanic; more specifically, he was the cellist. Woodward, along with his fellow bandmates, all perished in the sinking. Woodward, at some point, moved to Dorset, England and joined the Eastbourne Municipal Orchestra before becoming a member of the Von Leer Orchestra at the Grand Hotel, Eastbourne and later the Duke of Devonshire’s Eastbourne Orchestra. He joined the White Star Line in 1909. Captain Edward Smith was one of the victims when the Titanic sank. Smith’s last words may have been “Be British" - a reference to his stiff upper lip in the face of impossible adversity. Smith’s ghost has been seen in various places; in fact, Smith’s ghost is the one most frequently encountered. Diving on the Titanic is a complex and difficult undertaking. The logistics of working at 12,500ft while 370 miles offshore are challenging,” said Rob McCallum, the Eyos founder and expedition leader.

Artifacts expert Joe Zimmer seems to attract quite a bit of attention from the spirits attached to these objects on display. He’s had his name called, his hair pulled, and his clothing tugged on, all followed by the sounds of laughter. He has admitted to being thoroughly creeped out after closing down for the night, knowing full well that he was alone only to hear a phantom orchestra. RMS Titanic International Agreement".

The phrase 'unsinkable ships' is certainly not one that has originated from the builders When the U.S. Senate Inquiry was in New York for three days before moving to Washington, D.C., approximately a hundred or more of the crew stayed at the Jane Street Hotel, which at that time was known as the American Seaman’s Friend Society Sailors’ Home and Institute. They were undoubtedly devastated at the tragic loss of their colleagues; perhaps even some of them were close friends. The building was designed by William A. Boring in the Georgian style and constructed between 1906-1908. Boring was the same architect that designed the Ellis Island Immigration Station, another famous structure in the city.
