I definitely would be interested in such a list. As mentioned in my post #2, I read the entire congressional transcript on the hearings. I've also made it a point to see earlier Hollywood renditions of the Titanic, all of which were far more historically accurate than the late 1990s version.

I'm deeply disturbed by the media cabal's ongoing efforts to erase as much of our religious heritage as possible from accounts of our historical events unless, that is, if it conforms to their anti-religion agenda.

Even the remake of True Grit deleted the hymn singing from the public hanging near the beginning of the film even though it is documented fact from the history of Judge Parker's famous gallows at Ft. Smith.

What can we do to make that ping list a reality? For instance, I can see it being useful in a few weeks to remind us when A Night to Remember will likely be shown.

And that's yet another reason why those interested in Titanic could benefit from a ping list. We could learn from each other in the context of a Conservative forum where no apology need be given for our pro-God stance when we explore history.

Perhaps going into the legend or myth category, I long ago read that until Coca Cola became the most widely recognized "brand name" worldwide (in the 1930's), the name Titanic was known in virtually every corner of the earth. In April 1912, mass media was flourishing and the then-new wireless was transmitting communications to hitherto unreached areas of the globe. The Titanic was a very big story, arguably the story that made The New York Times the newspaper of record in that era.
