TITANIC MYSTERY
As we know that titanic is a huge ship which is also termed as unsinkable but there is a great tragedy and mystery behind its wrecking.Some people may call it as Titanic curse.The Titanic left the Belfast with passengers: 2,435, crew: 892. Total: 3,327 (or 3,547 according to other sources)When Titanic sank, claims were made that a curse existed on the ship. The press quickly linked the "Titanic curse" with the white star line practice of not christening their ships
One of the most widely spread legends linked directly into the sectarianism of the city of Belfast, where the ship was built. It was suggested that the ship was given the number 390904 which, when reflected, resembles the letters "NO POPE", a sectarian slogan attacking Roman Catholics, widely used by extreme Protestants in Northern Island, where the ship was built. In the extreme sectarianism of the region at the time, the ship's sinking was alleged to be on account of anti-Catholicism by her manufacturers, the Harland and Wolff company, which had an almost exclusively Protestant workforce and an alleged record of hostility towards Catholics.In fact, RMS Olympic and Titanic were assigned the yard numbers 400 and 401 respectively.Before the Titanic wreck there is a book in which the wrecking of a ship is described exactly the same way in which the incidents happened in the titanic.And another coincidence is the ship which is described in the book is wrecked by hitting a iceberg in the same where Titanic wreck takes place. up-to now the incident of Titanic remains as mystery but it is really a great tragedy which took 3,547 people.The story of amazing ship ends with a great mystery which is unsolved
