... but what many people don't know is that, after its planned arrival in New York on April 17, 1912, the ships itinerary had it turning south to Mexico. The ship was to make port in Veracruz on May 5, 1912.

The Hellmann's company had recently opened its doors, and the hold of the Titanic was filled with jars of mayonnaise - the first ever to be shipped to Mexico. So it was with sadness that the people of Mexico learned that their eagerly awaited mayonnaise was on the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.

The great ship's intended arrival date is still marked in some parts of Mexico, in a remembrance known as Sinko de Mayo.
