If you haven’t seen it, you’d probably like the Alfred Hitchcock movie “Lifeboat”, great movie about lifeboat survivors after a torpedo(?) sinking during WW2.
So true! For me it is smells that trigger memories...I remember so well the smell of the plastic textbook covers and raincoats in my first-grade classroom at St. Mary’s Catholic School in Georgetown, S.C., 1964-65
As an interesting footnote, the lifeboats from Titanic were taken aboard the rescue ships (mostly the RMS Carpathia) or towed with her back to New York where she delivered the survivors. Those lifeboats, bearing the ill-fated cruiser’s name, had the name sanded off and were then hauled out to sea and used for gunnery practice. No one wanted the grim reminders bobbing at the dock.
Can you imagine how much one of Titanic’s lifeboats would be worth today?
Sends chills up my spine.
What a coincidence. Brian Williams once had a Titanic career, now he is clinging to life and wasting away on the MSNBC lifeboat. ;-)
Thanks - it was basically a cartoon - but I enjoyed that movie.
When I saw Titanic in the movies, I clapped when that little POS froze to death.
