The Legend of Rigel

8.
The Legend of Jenny
• Titanic had a cat named Jenny
• Functioned as a “rat catcher”
• Lived in the galley
• Was on board for ship trials
• Had a litter of kittens in the week
before Titanic left Southampton
Legend says that a cat at Southampton…
•Made multiple trips to shore via a gangplank
• Carrying a kitten in her mouth for each trip
• Was it intuition? Or luck? Or just a story?
