Alcohol-Fueled Survival
It is said that Charles Joughin, the head baker on the Titanic, survived the sinking by clinging to the ship and “riding” it down as it sank. After that, he reportedly swam in the icy waters of the Atlantic Ocean for close to two hours until being rescued by a lifeboat. Joughin claims that the substantial amount of whiskey that he consumed prior to fleeing ship was the reason why he was able to maintain his composure and remain out of harm’s way. In the film directed by James Cameron, Liam Tuohy played the role of him.
Economic Inequality Indeed
In the Titanic, the enormous Turkish Bath was considered to be one of the most luxurious and extravagant rooms. First class passengers were the only ones who had access to the section, which had massage tables and thermal facilities at their disposal. On the other hand, the hundreds of passengers traveling in third class were required to share two bathtubs.
