THE TITANIC MUMMY LEGEND

Reprinted from Volume 12, December 1976. Titanic Commutator

By Edward Kamuda

For many years following the loss of the Titanic in 1912, there have persisted many myths about the liner, some of which were attributed to the loss of the great ship and her 1500 plus passengers.

However, there is one fable that does come to light now and then and it is the story of the mummified remains of an Egyptian priestess whose sarcophagus was supposedly so unlucky for those who either looked upon it or touched it, that certain misfortune would befall them and in many cases death!

EXCLUSIVE

THE TITANIC COMMUTATOR

Published quarterly and continuously for nearly forty years by The Titanic Historical Society, Inc., (ISSN 004-8182) and mailed from Springfield, Massachusetts, the journal has been the groundbreaker in providing primary source materials.

Accounts from Titanic passengers, biographies of White Star liners and other shipping companies are standard; also varied maritime interests, illustrations, and commentaries—ensuring a permanent record.

Sixty-four pages of exceptional content make this publication the largest and best of society journals whose excellence and accuracy is renowned.

Letters, email, advertising, articles, news items, and photographs are welcome. However, articles submitted must be exclusive to The Titanic Commutator.

No remuneration is made, and the Society cannot guarantee publication. General interest, veracity, and originality are the criteria; the burden for accuracy rests with the author, and the expressed opinions are not necessarily those of The Titanic Historical Society, Inc.

Note: We have made minor edits to this text to correct grammatical errors or to improve word choice to clarify the content. We replaced words written using a non-American variant with the American English spelling for consistency. The passive text was often left “as is.” Those who need to quote directly should verify any changes by reviewing the original material.
