Titanic’s Forgotten Sister, Britannic.
Titanic’s sister ship, HMHS Britannic. While in use as a hospital ship during World War 1, she struck a mine near Kea in the Aegean Sea. She sank November 21st, 1916, with a loss of 30 lives and 1,100 survivors.

I remember reading some of these in middle school.

As the Titanic departed Southampton at the start of her maiden voyage, she passed the ship S.S. New York, which was docked nearby. As Titanic passed, her turbulent wake caused the New York’s moorings to snap, and the New York began to swing toward the Titanic by the stern.
Above: April 10th, 1912. Another view of the near collision as seen from the Titanic (right). The New York is in the center, behind the tugboat (foreground, center), and the R.M.S. Oceanic is the ship on the left.
The New York came within five feet of hitting the Titanic before a tugboat and her fast-thinking pilot managed to tow the New York away from a collision. Though the collision was averted, Titanic’s departure was delayed for half an hour due to the incident.

This iceberg is believed to be the one that sunk the Titanic. It was spotted by the Prinze Adelbert on the morning of April 15, 1912, with a large smear of red paint along the bottom which showed that it had been hit by a ship. The Titanic was painted with red, water resistant paint along her bottom.
Here’s some photos of the miniatures used in the break up and final plunge sequences of the 1997 film Titanic. The miniatures are really well made I have to admit. However I don’t understand how so many people don’t look at these two scenes and think “how is physics even allowing this?” The physics are completely unrealistic. I don’t care how much buoyancy the aft half of the ship had. There’s no way it could have just sat there at 45 degrees with over 300 feet of ship sticking out of the water. Further more the stern couldn’t float at a 90 degree angle by its self after the break up. Why would any one think that 100 feet of ship would just magically float there standing straight up?
This rant probably makes me sound like I hate this movie, but don’t get me wrong I don't entirely hate it. In fact Titanic use to be my favorite movie as a kid, however now that I’m older I see all of the physics flaws and inaccuracies, and then I get annoyed. I just wish the sinking sequence could have been less over dramatic and more realistic.
I find it funny how the last one was built in Belfast where the Titanic was ACTUALLY BUILT. HOW DID THEY GET IT SO WRONG?
Titanic: Honor & Glory – Real Time Sinking
The team behind the upcoming video game released a video of ship’s collision with iceberg and subsequent sinking in real time to commemorate the 104th anniversary of the disaster on April 14th, 2016. The animation was created in Unreal Engine 4 while Titanic itself is not the game’s final model, but an older model created by a team member.
As previously mentioned, the video documents the Titanic disaster in real time, culminating with a run time of two hours and forty-one minutes – the same amount of time it took the Titanic to sink. Throughout the video, text appears to denote the time of events, such as distress rockets being launched, which telegraph messages were sent, and who departed in each lifeboats.
At the same time, various glimpses of the ship’s interior are shown flooding, such as Scotland Road, the Grand Staircase, the Turkish Baths, and the First Class Reception Room. Also present is the initial starboard list the Titanic takes on before shifting to a heavy port side list until the final plunge begins.
You can watch the video on YouTube and follow their YouTube page for additional content. You can also keep up with the latest updates from Tumblr, Facebook, Twitter, and their website as well!
The First Class Pantry aboard RMS Olympic, Titanic’s sister-ship.
Located on D-Deck immediately aft of the First Class Dining Saloon, the First Class Pantry was part of the overall food preparation facilities or galleys for first and second class, but while the galley itself was where food was cooked, the pantry was where the cooked food was taken to be placed on plates and such for any further dressing and to be stored and kept warm until it was served. On Titanic this room would have looked the same.

Exploring Titanic
A while back there used to be a video game project called “Titanic: Lost in the Darkness”. The goal was to recreate Titanic in its entirety and make a game out of it where people could play through a story or just explore the entire ship at their leisure.
“Lost in the Darkness” no longer exists as it did. However, most of the team members and modelers from Lost in the Darkness, after the events that ended that project, went on to create “Titanic: Honor and Glory”. Honor and Glory has the same goals as Lost in the Darkness, even exceeding them, and builds on its roots from the days of the first project. Honor and Glory uses the same models you see above, though they have since been updated to be even more accurate and detailed.
The Honor and Glory team is still working on improving the models and getting them into the video game engine (Crytek’s CryEngine), so what you see above is from the days of Lost in the Darkness, scenes from some early in-game tests. Click the images to see which rooms they are in the descriptions.
You can see more of Titanic: Honor and Glory, and what became of the amazing work you see above, on their Tumblr blog, Facebook Page, and Youtube channel.
A little treat for our followers’ patience in these last few weeks of apparent inactivity: A render of the dome chandelier above Titanic’s Grand Staircase. A larger version of this image without a watermark will soon be released as one of a number of desktop backgrounds.
Despite inactivity on our Facebook page and Tumblr blog, our team has still been working hard behind the scenes. Our interior models are still being made and updated, we’re starting to do some more in-engine work and improvements, we’re working on perks from our Indiegogo campaign (those we can do now, at least), and we’re working on other aspects of the project as well, including our rendering capabilities, this image being one of the products of those efforts.
Thank you all for your patience! We will eventually have more for you!
Visit Titanic: Honor and Glory on Tumblr, Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, and CryDev for more about the project.

This is a book that I received many years ago from my late great-aunt Mary. It is a book that was published in 1912 called “Sinking of The Titanic,” by Jay Henry Mowbray. It had originally been in possession of my great-great-aunt Rosey. After she passed on my great-aunt Mary found it in her house. For years the book had been on my great-aunt’s book shelf, and because of my interest in the Titanic she decided to give it to me. When I received the book I was sad to see it was somewhat in a state of disrepair. Many of the pages are still in it, however they’re very brittle due to old age. I decided it would be best to keep it in a archive box to prevent further damage. Even though it may not be in perfect condition it still is amazing to have a 100 year old piece of history in my possession. I love my great-aunt Mary very much. This is the best gift she ever gave me, and I miss her greatly.

I get choked up thinking about my great-aunt Mary. It doesn’t seem possible that she’s been gone as long as she has.
I grew up reading the book Polar the Titanic Bear, written by Daisy Corning Stone Spedden for her son Douglas. The book, told through the eyes of the young boy’s teddy bear, opens a window on a vanished Edwardian way of life and contains an enthralling eyewitness account of the Titanic disaster. This book has always been one of my favorites and I still own it.
I found this commemorative bear online and words can not describe how much I want this bear. Sadly it’s over two hundred dollars, and I’m a broke college student. This bear is wonderful though. I’d also love a bear that’s an exact replica of the bear made in 1912 but that would probably also be over two hundred dollars.
And I still sob when I read this book even as an adult.
