From what I remember, the sea water was something like 25 F which can kill a person in 15 minutes, so I can’t see how anyone survived who was thrown in the water or jumped unless they were immediately picked up.

Really. A terrible movie.
“A Night To Remember” was on TV a couple weeks ago, and Hubby watched it. I couldn’t. I saw it decades ago and won’t watch it again; is too upsetting.

Isn’t it the same as after a crime investigation the victim’s effects are returned to the family?
I’ve been thinking about grave articles recently. Other than the value and quantity, what is so different about what is put in ancient Egyptian and Chinese graves from the toys we put into a child’s casket, or the well-loved and used items that went into my mother’s casket. My grandfather’s will asked that his mother’s photo be placed in his ashes urn. For some reason, there’s something instinctive in us to want our loved ones to go with the things they found dear.

My friend has already made that arrangement with a funeral director. I need to think how to accomplish it.

The Waltham I have was my great grand fathers. It is a railroad watch with the minutes denoted.

“Best one I ever saw”
Definitely the best I’ve ever seen, too.
It made “Titanic” look like a cartoon.

I remember when the bow dipped below the surface.
It was truly fearful (for a movie)

Picking “artifacts” off of the Titanic is nothing more than grave robbing.
