And what do you want to bet that 85 years down the road, they'll make a sappy movie about it?

Saw the traveling exhibit in Houston a couple of years ago. That was very interesting and sad.

Actually, they made an
excellent movie out of it, 46 years down the road:

Ted Kennedy was the captain.

RMS Titanic will (no doubt) rise above the movies and other (crap) made about her; like the pheonix, she comes to be immortal. For what it's worth, 57 years earlier, on that selfsame night, Abraham Lincoln also went to his eternal reward. Make of this what you will, Shakespeare was right in that April can be the cruelest month--remember that taxes are due on the 15th.........

The Titanic exhibit was here in the Twin Cities a few years ago.
I kept saying "Yes, I'll go before it closes". Then it closed and I hadn't made it.
I wish I had.

Shakespeare was right in that April can be the cruelest month . . . I thought that was TS Eliot. Or did both authors impugn the month of my birth?
To: TXBubba
I live in Central New York State and drove to Boston to view the exhibit when it was there. They had the large piece of the ship on display that they had previously recovered. Water was constantly flowing over it as part of the desalination process. There was a sign nearby that said: "Do not touch." A guy standing next to me said: "Oh go on, you know you want to touch it." So I did, and fortunately wasn't caught doing it. Since then I've been able to say I touched the Titanic.

Here's hoping 2012 sees a re-enactment. Let Al Gore, Ted-former-CNN, and Hillary book their voyage NOW.

Classic case of Man vs Nature...
Nature won.
The first thing they ever taught us in the navy was the classic line that Thomas Andrews used in the move (well, a form of it)
"If it's steel, it can sink"
I spend most of career in the navy on Submarines---on one boat, she refused to submerge on her sea trials.

It was Eliot.
April is the cruelest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Dull roots with spring rain.

I'm among those who thought the 1997 James Cameron film was wonderful! It's very hip to dislike it.
Trivia: Everyone knows the calamity took the life of John Jacob Astor...Brooke Astor, his daughter-in-law, is still alive at 103.
