๐Ÿชฆ The Unlucky Mummy was among the Titanic's cargo, leading to theories that it cursed the ship.

๐Ÿ”ญ The absence of binoculars for lookouts, due to a key being misplaced by a reassigned officer, is often cited as a contributing factor to the disaster.

โš“ On April 10, 1912, the Titanic nearly collided with the SS New York, an incident seen as an unsettling omen.
