From Wikipedia:
There is a legend that the Empress's captain, Henry Kendall, was doomed by a curse uttered in 1910 by Dr. Hawley Harvey Crippen, London's notorious "cellar killer". Dr. Crippen and Ethel Le Neve, his lover and accomplice in murder, were arrested aboard the SS Montrose, then commanded by Captain Kendall. Dr. Crippen, realizing Captain Kendall effected his capture, supposedly wished the captain's next ship would sink. Captain Kendall's next ship was the Empress.

No. I can't remember where I found it, but it was something like this.
On April 15th on a moonless night, the ghost of the White Star Line Pier can be seen, and the ghost of the Titanic can be seen coming into the pier.

Yes. And another part to it is that the ghosts of Captain Smith, Thomas Andrews, and the passengers that died that night on the Titanic can be seen coming off the ghost of the ship
