A Titanic Blog.

I'll just be here drinking tea out of my Teatanic. Mostly active in April.

Today my Advanced Clinical Pathology professor trailed off in the middle of class and said, “If I seem distracted, it’s because last night I was talking with a friend and she asked ‘Who’s that chick in Titanic?’ but all I heard was ‘Chicken Titanic,’ and ever since then I’ve been thinking about a chicken on the bow of the Titanic like Kate Winslet, wings held high. It’s all I can think about.”

“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.”

The only known Black people aboard on the Titanic the day it sank .

Joseph Philippe Lemercier Laroche & family 🙏🏾 🕊️

[umflowers]

that image is ai.

this is the laroche family - joseph and his two daughters, simone and louise, and his french wife, juliette lafargue. he and his daughters were the only three passengers of known haitian descent onboard the ship, and they were headed to haiti when the titanic sank. joseph woke his pregnant wife shortly after the impact with the iceberg and ensured his family made it onto a lifeboat, but unfortunately didn't survive, himself. his younger daughter, louise, was one of the last surviving passengers of the titanic (only 6 remaining after her); she died in 1998. one thing i found particularly heartbreaking: joseph's mother had booked them first-class tickets aboard the ss france, but that ship had a rule that children had to remain in the nursery and couldn't dine with their parents, so they chose instead to sail as second-class passengers aboard the titanic.

Collapsibles A and B probably had some of the most harrowing survival stories of the night. Both floated off the rapidly sinking ship, boat A with its sides broke and swamped with water, boat B floating upside down.

Over two dozen people climbed into boat A, standing knee deep in freezing water. By the time its occupants were taken off by another lifeboat, only a dozen remained alive. Survivors report restoring to punching each other to stay alert, as those who sat down to rest didn't get back up

Boat B managed to keep 28 men alive. Under the seamanship of officer Lightoller, they kept the boat and its precious air pocket afloat in an increasingly choppy sea

Boat B was found by the Mackay-Bennett, during the effort to recover the bodies of the victims. Boat A was found by another White Star liner, the Oceanic, still adrift in May

TITANIC (1997) Dir. James Cameron

[sadclowncentral]

i had a dream that time travel was invented and too many people choose to travel back in time to save the titanic from sinking (the question of whether unsinking of the titanic deserved so much attention in the face of human history was the subject of both heavy academic and online discourse), which caused a rift in the space-time-continuum that led to the titanic showing up indiscriminately all over the world’s oceans and sea in various states of sinking.

this caused a lot of issues both in terms of fixing said space-time-continuum and in terms of nautical navigation, and after a long and heavy battle in the international maritime organization it was decided that the bureaucratic burden of dealing with this was to be upon Ireland, much to their dismay. the Irish Government then released an app for all sailors and seafarers so they could report titanic sightings during their journeys, even though they heavily dissuaded you from reporting them given the paperwork it caused.

anyway i woke up with a clear image of the app in my head and needed to recreate it for all of you:
