HossC Posted July 29, 2022 Report Share Posted July 29, 2022 9 hours ago, Skipper Duke said: Would anyone here on HazzardNet sail on it, if you had a time machine, and could go to 1912, if you could get a life boat and escape the sinking of Titanic? A lot of people say they would go back to 1912 and sail on it long as they could escape that certain death. Why would you go back to the Titanic, knowing the trauma ahead of you even if you survived? Go back and get the same experience sailing on the Titanic's sister ship, the Olympic. The Olympic sailed successfully for 24 years before being scrapped. Their other sister ship, the Britannic, had a career spanning less than two years after being converted to a hospital ship during WWI and sinking in the Aegean Sea with the loss of 30 lives when it hit a mine. The Olympic's definitely the one to set your time machine for if you want that White Star Line luxury. Skipper Duke 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skipper Duke Posted May 11, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2023 Did you know that in Titanic 1997, take out all the modern day stuff with old Rose telling the story, and all the 1912 stuff is the real life 2 hrs 40 mins sinking timeline? Director James Cameron must have worked that out on purpose. ;) The Lemon Tea scene with Captain Smith represents visibility. The Lemon in the Tea cup under the Tea is like the iceberg under the Ocean. Every scene James Cameron made has a purpose.

A ton of Jews were on the Titanic, that's why it became more famous than other equally awful maritime tragedies, such as The Lusitania etc. Levi Strauss was on the Titanic! ( you've probably got a pair of his jeans!) , and John Jacob Astor was also on the Titanic. They had all the people that were influential and powerful on that ship. The next year ( 1913), they came out with the Federal Reserve Act.....UNOPPOSED! ( all those powerful and rich enough to object and actually DO something about it were then dead! ) Skipper Duke 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HossC Posted May 6 Report Share Posted May 6 2 hours ago, Skipper Duke said: Titanic fans... I just found out, Bernard Hill(Captain Smith) died at 79 years old. He came to fame in the UK when he starred in a very gritty 1982 drama series called 'Boys from the Blackstuff' which followed five unemployed men looking for work. 'Titanic' and 'The Lord of the Rings' are probably the works he's best known for outside of the UK. Skipper Duke 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
