You are absolutely right, he actually said exactly that when his family encouraged him not to take the ship on a maiden voyage. He said the ship was "unsinkable" so he would be fine.
Just took a look at the picture of his tomb on findagrave, and I agree it's interesting that the carving looks like its depicting the sinking Titanic. I wonder how many people have their cause of death reflected on their graves.
A very sad tale. Of course Birnbaum would not have considered the crossing in the Titanic a risky venture. The ship was advertised as unsinkable.

His grave is interesting. I wonder if any other victims have a ship as a design.
