Other services on board the Titanic cost extra, The Washington Times reports. The use of the swimming pool cost 1 schilling, which included the rental of a swimsuit. Passengers sent telegrams for a charge of about $3.12 for the first 10 words. More than 250 telegrams were sent and received before the ship sank on April 15, 1912.
