Even More about the Mummy on the Titanic Even More about the Mummy on the Titanic Because of this posting, I went into the archives of alt.folklore.urban. The version of the story posted there is extremely poor. It said that the mummy was purchased in 1910 in Egypt by an archaeologist named Murray. Apparently, no archaeologist named Murray ever existed and that version of the story is easily refuted. I do not really know if there was a mummy on the Titanic.
Nobody can know that for sure.
In fact, there were at least four stowaways on the Titanic who survived, and their names were never recorded. There are also numerous cases of people who claimed to be survivors of the Titanic, and yet their names are not on the passenger manifest. Nevertheless, many of these claims are probably true. There were also card sharks on the Titanic traveling under assumed names. This is probably the reason why, in the movie, Leonardo DiCaprio is depicted as being a card player.
