Little known story: When the Titanic sailed on it's maiden voyage to New York it had a second stop at Vera Cruz Mexico. It had a cargo of Hellman's mayonnaise consigned to Mexico. Of course the Titanic sank and never made it to Mexico. The tragedy is treated as a national day of mourning in Mexico known as Sinko de Mayo.
