You have probably heard some myths & legends about the Titanic's crew so this page is dedicated to the crew about the Titanic.
Myth: Some passengers getting on the Titanic saw the face of Death from a smokestack.
Verdict: False
Some people getting on the ship may have seen a face peering out of the false funnel. The general public however wasn't aware that the funnel was a fake. So it must have seemed like the face of Death since no human could survive the heat of a real funnel. "Death" however was probably just a crewman's face black from the coal dust in the boiler rooms, just wanting to get a last look at land before the ship set sail.
Myth: A worker was trapped and entombed inside the Titanic as it was under construction.
Verdict: False
This legend probably comes from the fact that work on the Titanic was proceeding so fast that rumor spread that a worker had been trapped inside the hull of the ship. This however is just a rumor probably started to scare another builder, or a member of the crew.
