The RMS Titanic was an ocean-going vessel on Earth, infamous for striking an iceberg and sinking during its maiden voyage in 1912, in spite of claims that it could not be sunk.
The captain of the Titanic, Edward John Smith, apparently escaped the sinking ship when a door to The Captain's Table appeared on deck. (NF novel: Once Burned)
- Neither the captain or his ship are actually named in the novel, though the reference is implicit.
In the 20th century, the British HMS Enterprise used its sonic depth finders to aid in the search for the sunken Titanic. (Star Trek: The Magazine vol. 2, Issue 7: "Enterprise Lineage from Schooner to Starship")
In 2371, artifacts recovered from the Titanic were part of a traveling exhibit on display aboard the USS Bozeman for at least two weeks. (TNG novel: Ship of the Line)
