I know so many stories of the actual people on that ship its borders on insane. Remember that scene with the old couple lying in their bed with the water swirling around them? That was Isador and Ida Strauss and that entire scene where Rose gets on the lifeboat only to jump back onto the ship actually happened between the Strausses. Ida got onto a lifeboat and clibed back onto the Titanic and said to her husband "where you go, I go".

Wahhhh. Its all true.

Thats interesting. I like how they put that into the movie.

"You jump, I jump right"

I have the VHS tapes.....or should I say just tape number one. I enjoy the first tape then I go on with my day pretending that tape two does not exist. Boy, I bet all those folks had a swell time when they got to New York! Start spreadin the news! That's what I'm talking about!

Honest to God, I could go on for days.

In one of the books I have that has a bunch of pictures of the relics, there is a piece of jewellery that really haunted me. There was a gold link bracelet with the name Amy set with diamonds. It just struck me as so personal. Anyway, when I was at the exhibit this summer, they had the Amy bracelet there on display. I nearly had a heart attack...actually being able to see it, right there. That's when I nearly bawled.

Wow, that would be incredible to see those things. We always watch the specials they have about Titanic on the Discovery & History channels. Have you ever heard about the bears that were given to the victims familys? I saw one in a doll collectors book that was auctioned.

This movie came out when I was in second grade. I had no real interest in seeing it until this girl in my class started a club for people who had seen it, only because she knew I hadn't.

I know, 7-year-olds can be such bitches. So I begged my mom to let me see it, and she did. And it was just okay. I'd probably like it more if I watched it now, though.

I didn't know of the bears, but I did hear of some of the actual survivors being taken out to the site and dropping wreaths in the water..it was in the late 80's I think. As far as I know there is only one remaining survivor left who was an infant when it happened.

I have mixed feelings about it, but I have a piece of coal that was salvaged from the boiler of the Titanic.

It was a german company, (I wanna say Boyd, but I'm not sure) I know the name but it just isn't comming to me at the moment. I'm tempted to go dig my husbands bear out of the closet because it was made by the same people, LOL. I believe one was made for each person who died and the bears were made from a special black fur that had only been used for those perticular bears.

OMG! That's amazing! I'm all for retrieving and perserving that stuff. It's all rotting down there and once it's gone the memories will fade with it. If things exist that people can see and touch from the Titanic they will not forget.

Exactly. It will all dissapear it a short time, the wreck, everything.
Still, I have a piece of it my HOUSE. Its in the next room as I type! I've had it for 10 months or so and I can't quite get over it. I have it sitting in the den next to a bunch of Titanic books. I feel like such a nerdlinger for divulging all of this.

I think it's awsome! How did you get the coal?

Bought it. I kinda feel shamed even though I love having it at the same time.

I was talking to a Titanic historian/author who would travel with Titanic exhibits over the world. At the particular exhibit I was at, there was this massive, I mean MASSIVE chunk of the Titanic's broken hull, called "The Big Piece" suspended and on display. Anyway, this guy said that there would inevitably be little tiny pieces that would flake off and settle on the floor and when guards weren't looking, he would go and sweep up these little bits. So he has pieces of the Titanic's hull in a little jar. See, I find that creepy and that's why I feel guilty about havin a chunk of coal. And yet, I love having a piece of the history. Total quagmire. Giggedy giggedy.

Sweet! That's nothing to feel bad about, the best part of all is that you know it's authentic. Just think how cool it will be to show to your children and grandchildren.
