There is a theory that the Titanic (or its sister ship, the Olympic), deliberately hit the iceberg to sink. J.P. Morgan (who was supposed to be onboard and then didn't go) planned the Titanic disaster to kill off rival millionaires Jacob Astor, Isidor Straus and Benjamin Guggenheim, who all perished aboard. They were all against the creation of a central bank. With them out of the way, there was nothing to stop the creation of the federal reserve, which happened shortly after.
If the Captain goes down with the ship, it's cargo can not be salvaged according to maritime law. That's why it was added to their contracts, to make sure their client's cargo could not be claimed by someone else.
