The story is false.

Check out the previous Was there a mummy on board? question.

It's false, you can read more about the hoax (and other ones having to do with Titanic) at http://www.execpc.com/~reva/html3f.htm, there's some interesting stuff there.

The story that i heard was that it wasn't even a mummy that was on board the ship, it wasn't even a coffin. It was a peice of wood that was placed on top of the muumy. This is still at the British Museem and it has only left once since it arrived there. It went to an exhibition in Autralia. And the story that noises were heard comming from this wood is false. Also there is evidence that there was no record of there being a coffin aboard the titanic. And if this was aboard the titanic how was it saved, was it placed in a life boat with other surviors, NO, because if it was then someone must remember of having been placed next to this thing. And if it did reach America and it was sold to a Canadian and then it was sent back to Britian, the boat that it was sent on also sunk, how was it retrived if it is still in the British Museem? it is clear that this story is false so why is there so much hype surrounding this story?

I would like to know if there is a site on "Titanic" where you can compare prices for newspapers. I have the boston daily globe from 1912 and would like to know how much it's worth!!

Thank you,

Carmine, how can you possibly believe this story? especially since it's from a forwarded e-mail? i suppose you also believe that if you don't send some random e-mail to 10 people a little girl will appear in your room at midnight and attack you? anyway there was no mummy...especially no mummy that could have possibly survived, and according to the luggage records no coffin was ever brought on-board
