Also the major ships that are used in the great lakes are kinda astonishing, those are huge ships that are dedicated to a life lake where the only countries ports they will ever dock at are either Canadian or U.S.
Wasn't there something fairly recently with an abandoned ship full of rats coming close to the UK?
With the Titanic it is amazing how beautiful her interiors were (note some of these are from the Olympic which differ slightly):

That last one is of the Turkish Bath's. That part of the wreck is actually quite well preserved (compared to the rest of the wreck):

Here is an interesting one. The RMS Empress of Ireland:
Spoiler
(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/15/Empress_of_Ireland.jpg)
She was on the north Atlantic run (Quebec to Liverpool) in 1914 when a Norwegian vessel, the SS Storstad, collided with her at about 2:00 in the morning along the St Lawrence River. The Empress of Ireland sank in about 14 minutes killing 1000 people out of the 1400 on board, most of the people on the lower decks drowning almost immediately.
WW1 broke out a few months later and thus the disaster went out of the news and, whilst I believe it is well known in Canada, it has become largely forgotten compared to other disasters such as the Titanic and the Lusitania.
Yeah, as I said it is largely unknown now, overshadowed by the war which broke out later. Amazing how it sank so fast although I beleive they did not have time to close the watertight doors and some passengers had left their portholes open meaning water rushed in.
Here is the SS Storstad (the ship that hit it) just after the accident.

One interesting story I came across was of the Olympic, sister to the Titanic, ramming and sinking a German U-Boat in 1918, the only civilian ship to sink an enemy submarine:

It does look like it will be quite an interesting game. That video they did of the sinking in real time was good although there were some inaccuracies (most minor quibbles but a few big ones like the bridge ordering hard a starboard before the lookouts have even reported in).
Another interesting incident with the Olympic happened in 1911 when the British cruiser HMS Hawke rammed into her.

It was believed that the cruiser was sucked into the Olympic by the Olympic's propellers. Incidentally Captain Smith who would later command the Titanic was in charge of the Olympic at the time.
The Titanic herself had a mishap within minutes of leaving port. Again, her propellers displaced quite a lot of water and sucked a moored liner, the SS New York, away from the docks, only narrowly avoiding a collision.

More accidents from the Olympic. She threw a propeller blade crossing the Atlantic in early 1912, forcing her to go back to Belfast for repairs:

They decided to take one of Titanic's propellers for the Olympic, meaning that the Titanic's maiden voyage had to be pushed back to April 10th (it was meant to be the 20th March). Several weeks after the Titanic sank, Olympic nearly ran aground on some rocks off lands end. The captain at the time was Captain Haddock, who was also the first captain of the Titanic.
This is what he looked like:

Yeah, after the first time I would not have been too keen to go on another Olympic Class liner again myself but not Violet!
At least they got most of the people off the Britannic in time, apart from thirty people in two boats who got sucked into the propellers.
Another interesting chap is Alfred Vanderbilt.
Spoiler

He was meant to be on the Titanic but at the very last minute he cancelled his trip. Initially he was listed as one of the casualties. Three years later though he was on the Lusitania when it sank and he died in the sinking. He could not swim but he still gave his lifejacket to a female passenger and tried to find more lifejackets for others.
Here is another interesting one, a German liner this time. The SS Kaiser Wilhelm Der Grosse:
Spoiler
(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2c/Kaiser_wilhelm_der_grosse_01.jpg/800px-Kaiser_wilhelm_der_grosse_01.jpg)
She was built about the same time as the Cunarders and had three sister ships (the SS Kronprinz Wilhelm, the SS Kaiser Wilhelm II and the SS Kronprinzessin Cecilie). The ship is quite interesting as, along with her sisters, she was pressed into service during the war and was sunk at the Battle of Río de Oro in August 1914.

There is some dispute over whether the Germans scuttled her or whether British gunfire had doomed the ship anyway:
