Doomed From the Start
It’s hard to think that the Titanic wasn’t destined to fail when even its departure had some drama. As the Titanic left the Southampton dock it accidentally snapped the ropes that were holding another ship, The New York, to the dock causing the ship to drift towards the Titanic nearly causing a crash.
The only thing that prevented this crash was the crew’s quick thinking to use the ship’s wash from the propellers to push The New York away. This was already a bad omen and some say the Titanic was doomed from the start, it didn’t help that the owner himself was quoted as saying, “Not even God could sink this ship.”
