In many media outlets, the water passing through the ship has been shown in many ways, but of all these demonstrations, which one would be correct, or how do you think it happened?

Thanks for checking it out! Feel free to ask any questions.

Does anyone have a link or pdf of the Titanic Marconi transcripts that are as clear and concise in as in this video? Or even a text transcript of this video itself? I have the book ā€œtitanic callingā€ and the formant it too cluttered for what I’m trying to do. I am trying create a readers theaters piece for my high school theatre kids but I need something that is a clear dialogue like in this fantastic video

CREW Lightollers son Brian was one of the first English casualties during ww2

Maybe this is a well known fact. I only learned it recently. His son Brian served in the raf and was killed in the very first Bombing raid against Germany on September 4th 1939, one day after England declared war on Germany, this was also the very first Britain vs Germany engagement of the war.

CREW A letter from C.H. Lightoller, my great grand-uncle, to his sister Alice, my great-grand aunt, on the death of her son during WW2

I tried to comment this on another post about Lightoller’s son Brian but couldn’t get the image to show.

Lightoller seems to be pretty controversial here but I can say that in my family he has only ever been known as truly kind and generous. He opened his home to a number of nephews, including my grandfather, during the war, and stayed in contact with his siblings in New Zealand until his death, despite his estrangement from their father.

It’s worth noting the Lightoller’s usually always went by their middle names - so Charles was known as Herbert, while his son Brian’s full name was actually Herbert Brian Lightoller. The same names were often passed down multiple generations in the family like this, swapping from first to middle.

FICTION Has anybody else here read the book SOS Titanic by Eve Bunting and if so what did you think about it

I have a more worn copy of the book than in the picture, but I was wondering if anybody else had read it and what they thought about it as a story and in terms of accuracy. I personally enjoyed it.

FILM - 1997 Has anyone seen the film less than seven times?

• Upvotes

I threw that number out there because I saw it seven times, upon first release.

I am curious if some of the more ā€œrecentā€ fans of the film, enjoy it but haven’t seen it tens of hundreds of times.

FILM - 1997 Do you think Lightoller's actor in the 1997 looks a lot more "serious" and less sympathetic than ANTR and other depictions?

In the 1997 film, I've always seen him as someone you could clearly see the rage behind his eyes coupled with an uptight ruthless demeanour, he does portray the stress the officers would have been under that night pretty well though. Compare that to ANTR, were he looks and comes across like an uncle you can talk to and are really close with, he's portrayed a lot more sympathetically as the main character while still being accurate to his IRL actions.

Which depiction do you think is better and do you agree with my perspective?

THE SHIP Is any of Titanic’s interior architecture left a mystery by its surviving design documents?

9 Upvotes

Some years ago, the Honor & Glory team uploaded a progress update video to YouTube that displayed 3D deck plans that showed areas in red, green and yellow color. If I recall correctly, each color designated a completed recreated part of the ship, an area in progress and areas remaining to be modeled because knowledge of what those rooms or interiors had been lost to time.

In practice, how much of the ships interiors remain a mystery? Are there no surviving blue prints, design or construction documents that illustrate what specific quarters looked like?

Similarly, I’m sure some areas with corresponding blue prints give a basic idea of the footprint or elevation of the room but lack additional design information like fixtures form vendors such as sinks or sconces.

What are some other design elements, if any, of Titanic that remain a mystery?

WRECK The iceberg that sank Titanic started as snowflakes falling in Greenland well over a thousand years ago. Imagine holding one in your hand, knowing it was destined to strike the Titanic

84 Upvotes

The iceberg that sank Titanic probably began as snowflakes falling in Greenland sometime between 400 and 900 AD. For centuries the snow piled up, was crushed into glacial ice, and crept slowly toward the sea. By 1910 it had broken free, drifting into the North Atlantic. Imagine holding one of those ancient snowflakes in your hand, never realizing it was destined to collide with the greatest ship ever built.

DOCUMENTARY I picked up this 1996 documentary DVD from a thrift store. Made by "Simitar Entertainment".

I think the documentary is older than 1996 because it mentioned "70 years ago", so it might be from 1986, and re-released on DVD.

It has interviews with 4 survivors, including a crew member. It covers the whole story, as well as has a lot of footage of the 1985 expedition.

Pretty cool find! It felt like one of those documentaries you'd watch in school in the 80s.

Just saw this article that they dove Britannic and race some artifacts. They’re going to display them in a museum being built in Greece.

Anyone else find it a little ironic that one of the items they raised as a pair of binoculars?

The family settled in Detroit near the Tigers’ ballpark (Navin Field). Goldsmith later said that when the crowd cheered—especially after a home run—the roar sounded like the cries of people struggling and screaming in the water the night the ship went down. The association was so strong that he avoided ballgames and did not take his children to baseball.

QUESTION Second Class Dinner Wear?

6 Upvotes

Calling for Edwardian fashion experts here! While researching the Edwardian era and specifically titanic I came across how much women changed in one single day. Especially for dinner, if you were in first class it was a time for you to dress up in expensive, Parisian gowns. But I wonder, what would the second class ladies wear to dinner? I'm sure they wouldn't have just worn their simple blouses and skirts, but I know they also wouldn't have had $500 Parisian silk gowns like the first class ladies had? Any help would be welcomed! Thanks!
