My grandmother was on the Carpathian, the ship that rescued people from the Titanic. She, her sister, & their mother shared their stateroom with Mrs. Astor. She was so grateful that later she invited them to her N.Y. mansion.

Such a sad tradgedy that so many lives were lost and yet, it is also one of my favorites to study & read about...

There's. half-sized replica in Branson, MO that is an interactive museum with lots of original relics. It's said to be haunted!

I also am a Titanic enthusiast. A great book is A Night to Remember by Walter Lord. I have been to the cemetery in Halifax where many are buried. So many graves are unidentified. Cemetery is well maintained though.

My daughter is a Titanic enthusiast. We have seen replicas and gift shops in Ohio, Florida, Las Vegas, and Dallas, Tx. We've enjoyed a pint in the Grapes Pub in South Hampton, England, where the Titanic crew was there the night before they sailed. We'd like to go to Nova Scotia, where some from the wreck are buried.

The Titanic was built in Harland and Wolf shipyard No Catholics were allowed to work the Also Prodestants wrote awful things about Catholics and the Pope . There was an uncontrollable fire in one of those bulkheads mixed with freezing weather no hope for those poor people.e died x.🙂

Kerry, there is no confusion it hit the iceberg on the 14th and it sank on 15th of April end of

I heard that the Titanic was an icebreaker, meaning that it could break through an iceberg, the problem was that the crew, on seeing the iceberg panicked, tried to avoid it and the side of the ship hit the iceberg causing the damage. Apparently what they should have done was steer the ship straight at the iceberg as it would have cut through it. Unfortunately the Captain was unavailable, as he knew this information

Player #3966253Yammy, You know what's been said for years... The Titanic was built by professionals, the ark by amateurs.

I live in Southampton, England. There's a pub called the Titanic where some of the crew stayed the night before sailing for NY, and if you go to Dock 11, there are still two bollards painted orange that the Titanic was moored to.

Mark, sank by the ambition of a captain who ignored warnings about icebergs and pushed the boat's speed to the maximum.

Sometimes I think the info isn't quite accurate.... I've read that a few people are believed to have designed the Titanic but haven't come across the name Pirrie before?
Kerry
The dates of this are so conflicting. Some sources say 14 April and some say 15 April.

Molly, I believe that she was the second wife of Mr Astor, was pregnant at the time and was put in a boat before the Titanic sank.

GreyishOccupation2, I always understood that Mrs Astor drowned on the ship with her husband. We’re there two Mrs. Astors?

I know this because it was the same year my grandmother was born. She died in 2012 just one month short of her 100th Birthday. My father was born in Belfast, Ireland where the Titanic was built.

The sinking of the Titanic is a symbol of social inequality.
Chloe Lil
I agree with many people about the Titanic sinking, it's such sad and tragic story and just imagen loosing your life on a ship which your supposed to have the time of your life on. However, despite this, it's became one of the most loved story and movie of all times. Many people say that it's a great movie but the ending is sad, maybe I'll watch it.
Kevin McCormack
It's such a horrible tragedy, even to this day, it still makes people sad.

The worst mistake the Captain did was Stopped the Ship. The last thing for a Ship is to be "Dead in the Water"
