Let RMS TITANIC and those goes down with here rest in peace
the crew wasn't trained for that situation. and why did they change the date of the voyage just because of a collision involving the Olympic? and Edward J Smith was the captain of the Olympic at that time. he wasn't even helping. he should have stayed on the bridge. Murdoch had no idea what to do.Or had Thomas Andrews in charge. He sure as heck knew his ship!
yes. but he only welded her together into Ismays image. he may have known but Ismay designed her. he designed some faults without making sure. the expansion joint was one.uh... welding was still in its infancy... it's more like rivetid together, lol
It will live on in my house, I have a titanic movie poster on my wall. :)Both Stuart2007 and myself hate that movie. inaccurate as heck. I mean, sure, I'm fine with fictional characters, but WHAT ARE THEY DOING ON THE VERY BOW OF THE SHIP?! NO PASSENGERS WERE ALLOWED BEYOND THE BREAKWATERS! A PAIR OF NOTICE BOARDS STATED THAT VERY CLEARLY!
It was a beautiful ship.

you can't get a job till you're 14.I'm 15, but without a job...
I'm 15, but without a job...Im 13, but I don't have a "job" legally, and don't get paid, but it is fun. :P
Thats the poster, I will take a pic later and upload it. :DIt's a good movie but take it for was it is, just fiction and no history realistic, the move was just marked for one purpose, make money to Hollywood, but the film was god made no doubt aboot that , but i like the first film they mad bather that one 1953 .More realistic i think http://movies.toptenreviews.com/reviews/mr312335.htm
And I think I have seen the movie, I was about 1.5 years old. :D So I have seen it, don't remember anything.
i could get a job at a railyard but i'm 12. i drove a powerfull ACC440. real fun.
you drove a backhoe? i could crush it with the Daylight Limited if i owned it.
well guys. it starts today. 96 years since Titanic sank. i wish she could be raised and put in a museuem ;)
again, she was an American ship with a British flag. and i take back what i said about raising her. R.I.P all those died on the R.M.S Titanic. my friend said i shouldn't care about those who died on the greatest ship in history.
Well tell your friend to ****** himself.Can we please use normal and polite languish here
Well tell your friend to screw himself.i said **** OFF ***** after he said who cares. but those stars weren't there. i'm real mad. i'm gonna pound him tomorrow and maybe shoot him with an airsoft gun(again) >:(

I don’t see how Titanic, by any stretch of the imagination, can be called the greatest ship. Even at the time of her construction—apart from being the biggest and perhaps the most opulent—she was inferior to most other liners of that time.Do a little more research:
She was not the fastest. She used outmoded reciprocating engines while Cunard liners had adopted turbines for all screws.
She was inadequately equipped for passenger safety.
The organization of bridge operations was lax; only one of the many ice warnings was ever plotted. The others ended up in scattered places including Ismay’s pocket.
Her rudder, while not necessarily undersized, had an inadequate steering engine that required a full thirty seconds to put the rudder hard over.
She was, in many respects, a floating death trap.

What you have just offered are excuses for the fact that she was an ill-conceived and ill-used ship that killed a lot of people.Today's standards? It may be bad by today's standards, but when it was built, it surpassed every standard exept for tensil strength in the expansion joints (something White Star would most likely fix soon after). Besides, I don't care much for today's standards. The ships today can't even compare to the luxury of the Olympic class ships.
By today’s standards she would not be allowed to operate, even if someone were silly enough to build her. By today’s standards, had her captain survived he’d have been tossed into jail for reckless endangerment, if not depraved indifference to human life.
Being the cause of perhaps the greatest maritime disaster does not make her the greatest ship.if that WAS how it was awarded, Titanic wouldn't get it, as there was a disater where a ship had over 4,000 casualties!
Unless, of course, the title of “The Greatest†is awarded on the basis of the body count.

It's like they almost want to build a temple for her.Sounds good to me! ;D
:'( Last witness from Titanic has died :'(:'( Rest in Piece
On Saturday the 6th of May 2006, Lillian Asplund died at the age of 99. She was five years old when she was onboard the Titanic with her family and eventhough there are two other survivors still alive theese two were too young to remember anything. Lillian and her family had been in Sweden visiting relatives (she is of Swedish descent), and was on her way home with her parents and four brothers. Only Lillian, her mother and a younger brother survived from the family. Ever since Titanic Lillian has given very few interviews and has avoid any publicity.
I agree that there's some overly enthusiastic worshipping of the ship going on.I actually refered to her in another thread as "the object of my idolatry"!

*Walks into a secret temple built around a life-size replica of the RMS Titanic, with hooded figures surrounding the ship chanting, "Let the queen sail again."*Menes Then you close this topic. ;)
Looks like my kind of place!
*Enters and closes the temple door*
i could get a job at a railyard but i'm 12. i drove a powerfull ACC440. real fun.I work with all kinds of vessels, like a dredge, "the Portis" and a fishing vessel, etc. I only OWN the Fishing vessel. not saying the name of the FV ship though, you'd laugh too hard...
