Oceanic Steam Navigation Spot

I like bicycles, estrogen, tea, new urbanism, idealized poses, intersectional feminism, and the Titanic(look at my Titanic tag!). Automobiles delenda est

The list Titanic developed towards the end meant both those in the lifeboats and those on board were basically experiencing two different sinkings. On the starboard side people probably thought they had more time than they actually did, on the port side you can see the final plunge is fast approaching

“But this is not the end of the story - -For their sacrifice was not in vain. Today there are lifeboats for all, unceasing radio vigil and, in the North Atlantic, the International Ice Patrol guards the sea lanes, making them safe for all peoples of the world.”

— -Closing text to the film “A Night to Remember”

of the 1,500 who died on Titanic, over 500 were from Southampton alone because of the crew. Absolute devastation in a town of 110k. It was like fifteen 9/11s

Realistic portrayal of what sighting the iceberg would have been like for Titanic's lookouts

What if someone went to the Titanic wreck with some paper towel and wiped off all the rust

[oceanicsteam]

It's officially Titanic week and I'll start by pointing out something that somehow has never made it into any of the films. Titanic came within feet of colliding with the SS New York when leaving Southampton and in retrospect a collision would have been ideal. But something of note, all 3 ships involved here were respectively the largest in the world when new(1899, 1888, 1912)

Hello I showed you my emotional support shipwreck, please respond

Chekhov's Department of War

[oceanicsteam]

Her interiors are actually overhyped, but legitimately one of the best profiles in ship history. Beautifully balanced and sleek for a ship that size. Look at her immediate size contemporaries with Aquitania and Imperator, both much boxier in appearance

pov: you're Violet Jessop and you're thinking to yourself, "oh god, it's happening again"

If you know, then you know. Anyways the Britannic sank today in 1916 after hitting a mine and would remain the largest passenger ship sunk until Costa Concordia

Thinking about the poorly placed lifeboats again

Mentally I am here

Chelsea Piers in the 1930s. Normandie looking absolutely gigantic next to Aquitania. Olympic showing her towering height compared to the squat profile of the new Britannic.
