I can't wait....we buffs can never get enough of this wonderful stuff!
Leni
Thanks for the ping!
Thanks for the ping. I’ve seen all these images time and again and yet I still find them endlessly fascinating.
I'll just add that I thought I knew a great deal about RMS Titanic. The depth (no pun intended) of knowledge that I've come across in postings from year's past reveals how little I knew and how much I have to learn. I'm sure we'll all benefit from knowing more as time goes on. I'm honored and humbled to be the guy maintaining the ping list.
One of these years I'll dig out those photos of poor J. Dawson's grave in Halifax, Nova Scotia and show 'em to you! ;-)
We had a conversation with the mother of the sobbing teenage girls. We adults all knew that the J. Dawson grave wasn't Jack Dawson's/Leo DiCaprio's grave, but the highly emotional teens would have none of it, LOL.
Prayers for the REAL J. Dawson and for all who perished on the Titanic...
MUCH more about the real "Jack Dawson" (actually Joseph Dawson) here:
The Real Jack Dawson (encyclopedia titanica)
James Cameron's 1997 movie "Titanic" is due to be re-released in April 2012, in 3D:

Titanic 3D Trailer - Original 2012 Re-Release (HD)
A few of the many Titanic-themed links from YouTube:
Real pictures of RMS titanic (YouTube - including J. Dawson's grave in Nova Scotia)
Titanic - Videos Originales 1912 (Video footage from 1912)
Titanic - 1912 Original Video Footage (Mostly a photo slideshow)
Re: future pings.
Bear in mind there were quite a few movies made relating to the Titanic. Heck, even “Unsinkable Molly Brown” refers to it! Thus, maybe we’ll find quite a few movies popping up around that time. To wit, “Titanic” with Barbara Stanwyck is a reasonably amusing film using Titanic as a backdrop to family woes. And thankfully, there’s a MATURE relationship instead of a (sleazy) teeny-bopper lust-fest.
We should also keep alert for other shows. Perhaps we can have an occasional ping just to keep all of us aware of each other. I don’t want to forget who you are if I think of looking up Titanic on (satellite) TV and find some stuff to ping on.
Please add me to your ping list, thanks!
Maybe the 3D version of “Titanic” (1997) will come with a music-only soundtrack option. I love the visuals of that movie and the music, but the dialogue is pathetic.
You've been added to our growing interest group and I've sent a confirmation via FReepmail.
Welcome aboard! The ping list that is...not the Titanic. :-)
I agree, Tony... the dialogue ruined the movie. Especially any dialogue that came out of Leonardo DiCaprio's mouth.

On a side note, I watched a documentary a while back, in which a survivor’s account was mentioned: that whenever he (or she) heard the crowd at a baseball game, he would recall the screams that night.
Every time the crowd cheered during a home run, the sound reminded him of the screams of the dying passengers and crew in the water just after the ship sank; as a result Frank never took his children to baseball games.
