Miscellaneous Stuff:

Titanic is said to have claimed her first victim before she even entered the water; while under construction, a worker is rumored to have been accidentally sealed inside the hull. True or not? Who knows. But it was actually something that did happen on other ships, for sure. Horrifyingly, once a worker was sealed in, there was no way to save them as the cost of ripping the rivets out and removing the hull plating was prohibitive. It was cheaper to just pay the man's
widow his wages for the month.

Yes, these were the days before workers' rights.
