And the whole Titanic Disaster wouldn’t have happened at all if they hadn’t lost their radar that night.
Hehehehe snort chuckle chortle
I resemble this remark! Had me going too. I researched it for an hour before I found a link that explained about the “More Information” link.[:$] Don’t worry enemeink, you’re among fellow humans, and fellow modelers! [;)]
Hear Hear! This thread just made my day[:D]
And don’t give me any of that iceberg nonesense either. Everyone knows the Titanic collided with one of the Japanese I-400s that was on its way to attack New York.
i thought the titanic collided with a german uboat lost in time\space.
“And don’t give me any of that iceberg nonesense either. Everyone knows the Titanic collided with one of the Japanese I-400s that was on its way to attack New York.”
NOPE She collided with a Cloaked Klingon Bird of Prey, looking for Whales., SEE SECRET FLIM CLIP!
A bronze award for a crew member of the RMS CARPATHIA, goes on sale at a coin collection establishment in England.
This is one of the bronze medals presented to the crew of the CARPATHIA following the heroic rescue of 705 survivors of the stricken TITANIC, which sank on May 15, 1912.
The CARPATHIA was the first ship to reach the TITANIC survivor’s lifeboats after receiving an emergency transmission from the TITANIC when the ship struck an iceberg at 11:40 PM on April 14, 1912.
After the CARPATHIA arrived in New York, the officers and crew were presented with medals by the first class passanger Margaret (The Unsinkable Molly) Brown, wife of a Colorado mining millionaire.
The estimated value of the medal is worth L 2,000 to L 4,000 pounds.
Montani semper liberi ! Happy modeling to all and every one of you.

I did hear somewhere that a bunch of Bass Ale went down with the ship. That’s the real tragedy!
I think I know where we can get more.
a new claim stating that the driver was confused on the new steering system, which caused the collision.
If that isn’t the biggest crock that I ever heard…
The helmsman was confused because he was having a hard time making the transition from steering with a tiller to a wheel? C’mon, now, that’s more than a bit of a stretch.
He was trying really hard not to hit the Brooklyn Bridge, so he kept steering north, north…
There has been quite a bit of discussion about these new “revelations” over at the Titianic Research and Modelling Association website (www.titanic-model.com) the conclusion being that the story by the granddaughter of the Titanic’s 2nd Officer just doesn’t match any of the accepted accounts and analyses of the disaster. By all accounts, C.H. Lightoller was a very capable and brave mariner, his memory deserves better.
I suppose we’ll see more of this as the centenary of the wreck approaches. Sadly, it also probably means that there will be more Titanic kits and new / improved aftermarket products for them at the expense of other liners and other ships that have received scant or no attention from the kit manufacturers such as the Leviathan, Normandie and the Andrea Doria.
FOX NEWS has reported that if global warming were real the iceberg would have melted long before it reached the Titanic, CNN reported that because of Global Warming a larger than normal iceberg broke off of the polar ice cap and floated into the path of the Tiianic. NPR reviewed the performance of the Titanic’s band
Jack Jack,
That was funny! I know what you mean with NPR, I listen all the time and enjoy the musci aspect, but man thay are some liberal, Esp since they be funded with a goodly chunk of public funds.
NPR gets about 10% of it’s funding from the Federal Government. It gets the “goodly chunk” from the public membership. And about another 5% from state and local governments, and public educational institutions that underwrite memberships for students etc.
The biggest single source chunk of money, and the biggest gift ever to be given a public institution by an individual, comes from the Kroc Foundation. So I guess if someone doesn’t like the direction, they can dislike the majority of their fellow citizens and stop eating Big Macs, LOL[;)]
Wasn’t there a satellite photo of a row of deck chairs at Area 51?
