In 1875 the steel tycoon Henry Bessemer built a Channel steamer with a gilded saloon hung inside the hull on pivots, meant to stay level while the ship rolled. It was supposed to end seasickness. It carried passengers across the Channel once, hit Calais pier twice, and the famous swinging room didn't even swing. ▶ Watch next: This 22-Ton Train Balanced on ONE Rail.

The saloon was locked for the public voyage, so it did not cause the crash; reports blamed a long ship that was slow to steer in Calais harbour.
