There is a Sherlock Holmes story called "New Year's Eve off of the Scilly Islands. The plot is where Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson try and stop an Arsonist. They track him on a ship called the Gigantic which is the original name of the TITANIC's sister ship renamed the Britannic. They talk about shipwrecks like the TITANIC. The reason for attempts to burn the the Gigantic is because it is carrying a bullion. Another ironic thing is that it happens on the New Year in 1912 and 1913 and the TITANIC sank on April 14, 1912 although Britannic sank in September of 1915. There's no murder, but attempted arson and sulfuric acid.
