Thus, "Titanic" Belfast® was spearheaded, along with some smaller projects, such as a "Titanic" memorial.

Hart was seven years old when she and her parents boarded the "Titanic" as second-class passengers on 10 April 1912 at Southampton, England.

Almost instantly, her mother felt uneasy about the "Titanic" and feared that some catastrophe would happen. To call a ship unsinkable was, in her mind, flying in the face of God.

When it was shown to the press in autumn of 1997, "it was with massive forebodings" since the "people in charge of the screenings believed they were on the verge of losing their jobs – because of this great albatross of a picture on which, finally, two studios had to combine to share the great load of its making".

because "Today's films flame out much faster than they did when "Titanic" was released." Brandon Gray, president of Box Office Mojo, believed in the film's chances of becoming the highest-grossing film of all time, though he also believed it was too early to surmise because it had only played during the holidays. He said, "While "Avatar" may beat "Titanic"s record, it will be tough, and the film is unlikely to surpass "Titanic" in attendance. Ticket prices were about $3 cheaper in the late 1990s." Cameron said he did not think it was realistic to "try to topple "Titanic" off its

The SeaCity Museum in Southampton, Hampshire opened on 10 April 2012, the date when RMS "Titanic" made her maiden voyage out of Southampton. It was designed to show Southampton's 2000 years of sea history, as well as commemorate the 549 city residents who sunk with the Titanic. To mark the 100th anniversary of the sinking, the BBC World Service broadcast, on 10 April 2012, a radio documentary in the "Discovery" series, entitled "Titanic—In Her Own Words".

After the "Titanic" hit an iceberg and began to sink, Krins and his fellow band members assembled in the first class lounge and started playing music to help keep the passengers calm.

Such theories have been dismissed by "Titanic" historians including Leslie Reade, Walter Lord and Edward DeGroot. When "Titanic" sank, claims were made that a curse existed on the ship. The press quickly linked "the "Titanic" curse" with the White Star Line practice of not christening their ships.

RMS Titanic Maritime Memorial Act The R.M.S.

The Act became law on October 21, 1986, when it was passed by the 99th United States Congress. According to a 1985 report, the United States Congress was concerned about potential damage caused to the "Titanic"'s wreck caused by salvagers. The report found that: Walter B.

While driving near the city of Suez, a car appeared that was driving on the wrong side of the road. The car also had its headlights turned on. As a result, the headlights blinded the driver of the bus. The bus driver then attempted to avoid hitting the car, but ending up hitting a parked car in the process.

The Titanic Salvage Company was established to manage the scheme and a group of businessmen from West Berlin set up an entity called Titanic-Tresor to support it financially. It fell apart when its proponents found they could not overcome the problem of how the balloons would be inflated in the first place. Calculations showed that it could take ten years to generate enough gas to overcome the water pressure. A variety of audacious but equally impractical schemes were put forward during the 1970s.

Finally, a widespread myth is that the internationally recognised Morse code distress signal "SOS" was first put to use when the "Titanic" sank. While it is true that British wireless operators rarely used the "SOS" signal at the time, preferring the older "CQD" code, "SOS" had been used internationally since 1908. The first wireless operator on "Titanic", Jack Phillips, sent both "SOS" and "CQD" as distress calls.
