He is motivated to try again when Prien informs him of the precise date that Morley and Julia's son, Willy, will die in World War I, killed in action. In an epilogue, Morley has returned to 1887, or, by now, 1888.

One was seen running across the Third Class Dining Room on the evening of the sinking, to the shock and amazement of the diners. Some of the women who saw it burst into tears, while men tried unsuccessfully to capture the rat. Few of "Titanic"s animals survived the ship's sinking. Three of

Proximity to the lifeboats thus became a key factor in determining who got into them. To add to the difficulty, many of the steerage passengers did not understand or speak English.

RMS Titanic alternative theories The sinking of the RMS "Titanic" in 1912 attracted so much controversy that several alternative theories about its sinking have gained support. One version is that the sunken ship was actually the "Olympic", near-identical sister-ship of the "Titanic", which was the subject of a large insurance claim, and that the two vessels were secretly switched before the voyage. Another was that the "Titanic"s owner, J.P. Morgan, wanted to eliminate several prominent bankers who were opposing his plan for the creation of a U.S. central bank.
