I have a recording of one of Sinatra and Dean Martin's performances, and when they're goofing around it's easy to pick out her --- distinctive --- laugh from the audience!
I've heard of the No Pope one, as well as a rumor that the Titanic hadn't been properly christened. That bit about the mummy is new to me and would make a great novel/movie, I think..
It'd make an interesting added horror variation to the story anyway!
Personally I think it just hit an iceberg and sank. Seems to fit the facts.... Although I do think you can date the fall of Western Civilisation from that event... Probably..
I think it was the beginning. A loss of faith in the future, a shock to the system, a reality check. We'd probably have learnt from it and gone on to greater things but 2 years later we had WW1. We never really recovered from that catastrophe...... The Titanic was the stumble. WW1 was the knockout blow.
it's a conundrum: France, Mexico, or Canada... or maybe ENGLAND...

To that event? Why not...say, the mobilization of European armies for The Great War?
