Titanic conspiracy theories

Titanic conspiracy theories, also called Titanic alternative theories, claim the 1912 sinking was planned rather than accidental, most often as an insurance fraud switching Titanic with the Olympic.

Titanic II

Titanic II, also known as Titanic 2, is a proposed cruise ship recreating the RMS Titanic, announced by Clive Palmer in 2012 but never built, with all launch dates missed.

Titanic II (film)

Titanic II (Titanic 2) is a 2010 direct-to-TV disaster mockbuster from The Asylum, written and directed by and starring Shane Van Dyke with Bruce Davison and Brooke Burns; a tsunami drives an iceberg into a centennial replica liner.

Titanic Lifeboat No. 14

Titanic Lifeboat No. 14, a 65-person port-side wooden lifeboat commanded by Fifth Officer Harold Lowe, was lowered with about 45 people, fired warning shots during loading, and made a deliberate return to the wreckage, rescuing William Hoyt, Fang Lang and Harold Phillimore before reaching the Carpathia after 7 a.m.

Titanic Lifeboat No. 6

Titanic Lifeboat No. 6, a forward port-side 30-foot boat lowered early on April 15, 1912, carried Margaret "Molly" Brown under Quartermaster Robert Hichens, who refused to return for swimmers; occupancy was about 22, far below its 65 capacity.

Titanic Sinks Tonight

Titanic Sinks Tonight is a four-part BBC Two and iPlayer docudrama by Stellify Media, premiering December 28, 2025, that reconstructs the Titanic's final 160 minutes in real time using verbatim survivor testimony, filmed at Studio Ulster, Belfast.

Titanic Thompson

Titanic Thompson, born Alvin Clarence Thomas (1892/1893–1974), was an American road gambler, golf hustler, and marksman who inspired Guys and Dolls' Sky Masterson and played in Arnold Rothstein's fatal 1928 poker game.

Titanic Town

Titanic Town (1998) is a Roger Michell drama starring Julie Walters as Belfast peace campaigner Bernie McPhelimy, adapted by Anne Devlin from Mary Costello's semi-autobiographical novel, set in Andersonstown in 1972 during the Troubles.

Titanic: Adventure Out of Time

Titanic: Adventure Out of Time is a 1996 point-and-click adventure game by CyberFlix in which a British secret agent relives the Titanic's doomed maiden voyage of April 1912.

Titanic: Music from the Motion Picture

Titanic: Music from the Motion Picture is James Horner's 1997 Sony Classical soundtrack album for Cameron's film, featuring Sissel and Celine Dion's My Heart Will Go On; over 30 million copies sold, six weeks at Billboard No. 1, two Oscars.

Titanite

Titanite, better known in the gem trade as sphene, is a calcium titanium nesosilicate mineral, CaTiSiO₅, forming wedge-shaped crystals and prized as a gem with fire exceeding diamond's dispersion.

Titanium

Titanium is a chemical element with symbol Ti and atomic number 22, a transition metal as strong as steel but far less dense, best known for aerospace and medical uses.

Titanium alloys

Titanium alloys are metals based on titanium combined with aluminum, vanadium, molybdenum, or niobium, classified as alpha, alpha-beta, and beta alloys and used mostly in aerospace and medicine.

Titanium carbide

Titanium carbide (TiC), also called khamrabaevite, is an extremely hard refractory ceramic compound of titanium and carbon, used in cutting tools, wear-resistant coatings, and MXene production.

Titanium carbide MXene

Titanium carbide MXene (Ti3C2Tx) is a two-dimensional transition metal carbide made by etching aluminum from the ceramic Ti3AlC2, first synthesized in 2011 and used in supercapacitors and shielding.

Titanium casting

Titanium casting is the founding of titanium and its alloys into near-final shapes by pouring molten metal into molds, almost always in vacuum or inert-gas furnaces.

Titanium Court

Titanium Court is a 2026 indie match-three roguelite strategy game by AP Thomson, published by Fellow Traveller, released April 23, 2026 on Steam; it won the 2026 IGF Seumas McNally Grand Prize and mixes autobattler and visual novel elements.

Titanium diboride

Titanium diboride (TiB₂) is a refractory ceramic compound of titanium and boron with a 3225 °C melting point, high hardness, and unusually good electrical conductivity for a ceramic.

Titanium dioxide

Titanium dioxide, also known as titania or Pigment White 6, is a white solid found in rutile, anatase, and brookite, used mainly as the dominant white pigment in paints, plastics, and paper.

Titanium dioxide anode

A titanium dioxide anode is a battery electrode where titanium dioxide (TiO₂) stores lithium or sodium ions, offering safer, longer-lived operation than graphite at about 1.5 to 1.8 V.

Titanium dioxide metasurfaces (metalenses)

Titanium dioxide metasurfaces are flat optical devices that focus light with dense arrays of subwavelength TiO₂ nanostructures, called metalenses; a 2016 Harvard demonstration reached diffraction-limited visible focusing.

Titanium disulfide

Titanium disulfide (TiS₂) is a layered solid used as the cathode of the first rechargeable lithium battery, developed by M. Stanley Whittingham at Exxon in the 1970s.

Titanium iron alloy

Titanium iron alloy (TiFe) is an equiatomic intermetallic compound of titanium and iron that reversibly absorbs hydrogen near room temperature, first reported at Brookhaven National Laboratory in 1974.

Titanium isopropoxide

Titanium isopropoxide, also called titanium tetraisopropoxide or TTIP, is a titanium(IV) alkoxide used as a Lewis acid catalyst and as a precursor for titanium dioxide thin films.

Titanium nitride

Titanium nitride (TiN) is a hard ceramic compound of titanium and nitrogen, best known as the gold-colored thin film coating cutting tools, drill bits, and medical implants.

Titanium nitride plasmonics

Titanium nitride plasmonics is the use of TiN, a refractory ceramic nitride, instead of gold or silver to support surface plasmons, with applications in biosensing and photovoltaics.

Titanium tetrachloride

Titanium tetrachloride (TiCl₄) is a colorless liquid that fumes in moist air, serving as the precursor of virtually all titanium metal and an intermediate in titanium dioxide pigment.
