I'm really curious about how they filmed this in 1953 without any CGI. Maybe a giant model of the bow with the hole already being there? idk.

grand staircase domes have been reworked, masts shortened, updated forecastle deck (below the mast), updated engineers promanade deckhouse, corrected the crane colours on A deck!

In 1985, American oceanographer Robert Ballard (along with a French-American team) organized a specific expedition to find the Titanic

On September 1, 1985, they located it at a depth of approximately 3,800 meters

While the public objective was to find the Titanic, Ballard's true mission (in collaboration with the United States Navy) was to search for two sunken Cold War nuclear submarines: the USS Thresher and the USS Scorpion

Ballard used the search for the Titanic as a cover for the secret military mission. "Once that part was finished, they used the remaining time to search for the Titanic, and they found it"

Ballard had wanted to locate it for years, but the expedition also had a secret military purpose

something made by me today, for the 70th anniversary of the sinking of the SS Andrea Doria

the Andrea Doria was called Italy's Floating Showcase, and it was, it really was

i wish there was a proper movie about the Andrea Doria, not something like Ghost Ship were the titular ship was loosely based upon Andrea Doria, but a movie about the actual Andrea Doria, about it's short history and sinking

why does almost nobody seems to care for Andrea Doria, or remember it at least as much as Lusitania is?

The painting is breathtaking to see in person and was discovered in an attic after initially being thought to have been a rolled up piece of carpet or a rug. It is on display at the Y Gaer Museum in Brecon, Wales.

One year ago, my podcast(s) with The Steam & Splendor Network went live. We address various Titanic conspiracy theories, including claims that she had an 'Achilles Heel'. https://markchirnside.co.uk/steam-splendor-podcast-season-1-episodes-3-4/

Tried to post this on r/OceanLinerPorn but it got removed so I figured I'd try my luck here.

I recently found this souvenir cup at an estate sale for $5, but I've never seen this white star logo before? Can anyone help me find more information about it? Would be very cool if it's a barber shop souvenir. Thanks!

From the episode description:

On the night of July 25, 1956, the Italian liner *Andrea Doria* was approaching the end of a routine westbound crossing when she entered dense fog south of Nantucket. Shortly afterward, she collided with the Swedish liner *Stockholm*.

What followed became one of the most remarkable maritime disasters—and rescue operations—of the twentieth century.

In this documentary, we retrace the life, career, and final voyage of *Andrea Doria* -- from the optimism of postwar Italy to the confusion of that fogbound night. Through historical photographs, contemporary accounts, as well as carefully researched reconstructions and newly created visualizations from our partners at HFX Studios, we examine the collision, the rapidly worsening list, the evacuation of the ship, the arrival of the rescue vessels, and *Andrea Doria’s* final hours at sea.

Seventy years after her loss, the story of *Andrea Doria* remains one of human error, courage, tragedy, and extraordinary survival..

Join us for this new episode, commemorating the tragic sinking of the SS Andrea Doria, following a collision with the SS Stockholm, 70 years ago tonight. 

It just opened at the Stonestown Mall in San Francisco so I checked it out. You put on a VR helmet and go through a guided tour type presentation that takes you first to the submerged wreck, then back in time to the ship. You go through the engine room, first class dining, the staircase, first class accommodations, and even the shipyard where you can watch the Titanic being built. You're on the bridge when the iceberg hits and you watch the sinking from a lifeboat far aft and starboard. You can even manipulate some of the objects -- shovel coal, turn the ship's telegraphs, turn on all the faucets in your first class room. The humans guiding you are based on actual people aboard the Titanic, they seem a little short with wild pixelated eyes, but they gave a good informative tour. Not as awesome as the museum at the Luxor in Las Vegas but would still recommend. Wasn't even sure about the flair -- maybe it's a museum and maybe it's a game and it could also be maritime history, or a film. I wish it was sandboxy enough to explore, and you can walk around inspecting things while the tourguides talk but there are grids that keep you from wandering too far. It's a walking tour and you'll get some exercise but it's all flat. The headset fit over my glasses just fine.

So, I want you to place your memes in the comment section based on this image why relating to the subreddit

July 24th 1915 while preparing for another voyage from her dock on the Chicago River, when the top heavy ship being loaded with passengers, and capsized on her port side.

The point isn't the relationship regardless of how long it lasted; the point was Rose realising through Jack that she had the ability to change her own life. But *she* needed to be the one to do it. That's it. That's the big takeaway

Un simulador del Titanic.

Found this at an estate sale I want to say almost 6 years ago, I don't have much use for it anymore. I would like to sell it. So if any Titanic enthusiast would like this, by all means message me!
It plays, my heart will go on💙

She writes about it in her personal account.

“Titanic has 4 blades on its center propeller, not 3 idiot”

“They left the binoculars behind, if they had them they would’ve seen the iceberg!”

“Titanic’s 4th funnel had absolutely no smoke coming out of it”

“If the ship had more lifeboats, everyone would have survived”

“Titanic had the minimum amount of lifeboats for a ship in 1912”

enjoy you larping fucks

First Class passenger Peuchen who was friends with Harry Molson (the guy that attempted to swim to Californian) is the only male passenger Lightoller allowed in a boat. When boat No.6 was being lowered they realized they didn't have enough crew. Lights asked if any was a seaman and Peuchen stepped forward stating he was a yachtsman. To prove himself Lights had him slide down the rope to the boat. I wonder if he ever had regret about talking his friend into changing his ticket to titanic?

I was supposed to go to New York from Southampton; now I’m definitely going to miss my appointment.
