The Greatful Dead started their career playing at Disneyland(according to a film I saw, but couldn't find any info on the web).
They also broke every marketing rule by allowing fan taping and logo sales, controlling their own content, merchandizing and ticket sales, played a different set every night, and sold out every concert.

Highest recorded tides in the world are found in the Bay of Fundy, Nova Scotia.

(I do have an affiliation, as I work in North America's only tidal power generating station)

Titanic ticket prices

The lowest fare for third-class passage was approximately $36.25 one way for a single person willing to share a cabin.

In second-class, the starting price for similar travel terms was $66. First-class started at $125, but could escalate quickly depending on the size and décor of the room.

The highest priced deluxe suite was priced at £900, or $4,500. This was a fabulous sum of money when an ordinary home could be purchased for less than $1,000 dollars, hence the nickname: "The Millionaire's Suite."
