r/titanic

the three that I thought of were the

North Korean Destroyer Kang Kon

Russian auxiliary vessel Kamchatka

SS Principessa Jolanda

I would include the Kuznetsov, but it has somehow failed to sink so far

Wife stumbled upon this at Goodwill and I had to have it. Copyright inside it is marked 1912. I'm pretty sure it's a first edition, but perhaps someone knows better than I do. Skimming inside it I thought it was interesting they believed she'd sunk to 16k feet rather than the 12.5k she actually sits at.

"Lucky George" most famously refers to a bronze dragon statue at the Kimpton Fitzroy London Hotel. Designed by architect Charles Fitzroy Doll, a matching twin statue currently rests on the sunken wreck of the RMS Titanic, as Doll designed the dining rooms for both. Rubbing the hotel statue's head is said to bring good fortune.

Just happened to notice this one morning taking the stairs to the lobby.

After the disaster the Titanic’s name was painted out. The tin was reproduced after that only with Olympic.

I’m so sad that she has put up with this crap her whole life. Even at drama school she was told she would just get the “fat girl” roles. And yet she starred in one of the highest grossing films of all time, got an Oscar nomination for playing Rose and has had a fantastic career winning an Oscar and multiple Emmys.

She had the last laugh and I’m so so proud of her! 🫶🏻

Pretty much idea is how would cunard build the Olympic class realistically using there build techniques and style but still keeping the spirit of the Olympic class intact

so when i started looking i saw RMS Carmania of 1904 which is probably the most Harland and wolf looking cunarder i have ever seen so i will take heavy inspiration from Carmania and her sisters

P.s i wouldn't mind any tips or ideas to used with this project :P

Que valor tendria este periodico original?

I’ve just finished my 1/100 scale cardboard model of the RMS Carpathia after two months of hard work! This is all part of my huge cardboard Titanic sinking film project- and naturally I require a good model of the Carpathia to show wireless communication and the rescue sequence at the end. This was by far the largest subproject that still needed to be completed as of late march 2026 -and now it’s done. This means that I will be able to dedicate my energy to all of the smaller things that still need to be built -and then to editing! I will add a few photos of the Titanic model and some of the other sets for all those who are not yet familiar with this project.
If you are interested you can of course also take a look at my YouTube channel, (Mr. 401) where I’ve been documenting this project since its inception.

What yall think?

Jack Thayer was just 17 when he survived the sinking of the then largest ship in the word. He later wrote in his book “The loss of the Titanic” about a walk he took on deck a hour before the collision. He described a crisp cold but a sky that blazed with millions of stars. The sea was as calm and black as he’s ever seen, and a light haze hung over it. “It was the kind of night that made one glad to be alive.” Not 3 hours later he would be swimming for his life as the ship he took that walked on plunged to its death.

OC by me!!

Titanic The Ship Magnificent. These books are very big. Beautiful pictures and they contain EVERY information of absolutely EVERYTHING about the construction of the Olympic class ships. Very cool. Even pictures of ads from the companies which provided the interior fitting are included!

I've just skimmed through the second book a bit; it's very interesting. I love it!

I got it for about 127€ from Ebay. It's really worth it.

Here we are again, providing you with yet another fix! There are several shots in the movie which show the steel structure holding up the never covered port side of the set, however, none of them are more egregious than this one. The entire side of the ship is shown openly and even the much darker 35mm coloring we are using doesn’t fix it, as there should be windows visible there. So we took it upon ourselves to digitally generate a window overlay using Project 401 by TitanicHG, which we could later motion track to the scene, to hide the steel support structure. It’s lucky that we are using 35mm lighting, that saves us a lot of work as we only have to make the actual hull a black overlay, without any textures or details. There’s also the tiny factor of an A Deck window missing, but that, luckily, is much more easily remedied than the missing hull. And that’s just two more fixes from a list of over 170.

I have been interested in Titanic since I was a teenager (mid-1990s). When I was younger and into it, my dream trip was the transatlantic voyage on the Queen Elizabeth 2. Flash forward to last week, and I completed that passage from Southampton to New York on the Queen Mary 2. I have to say, never having been to sea but having read nearly every book on Titanic, being on board really made aspects of the story very clear.

For one, we always see paintings of the bridge meeting the sea, but it wasn’t until I was at the bow of the QM2 that I appreciated how shocking of a sight that would be to see her so low in the water. One sees the paintings and sinking videos so often that one may not fully appreciate how shocking that sight must have been. I certainly didn’t until I was out on deck looking way up at the QM2’s bridge mid-ocean at night.

For two, it really makes one appreciate how many passengers were averse to evacuating the ship early on in the small, open wooden boats mid-ocean. The weather wasn’t nearly as cold as it was on the night Titanic sank, but even when I went on deck at night, I wanted to get inside to the warmth of the ship; I did not enjoy tarrying in the cold at all. It also helps put in perspective for me how perhaps those third class passengers didn’t emerge on the boat deck until the last few minutes.

Finally, on the day we passed by the Titanic site where I took this picture at 10:40 PM (ship’s time), it was the first where I could see all the stars reflecting off the sea. It was a sight to see and far darker than the three second exposure picture. It makes you realize how, unlike half the threads on here claiming everything was basically pitch black, an eye adjusted to the light could certainly have seen the silhouette of the ship going down, if not more.

It may well be that these things always stood out to others, but to me, the experience of being there on a large liner really gave missing perspective to the story that I never had despite reading all the books, watching films, and videos on the subject. For any true Titanic nerd or maritime enthusiast, the transatlantic crossing is a must do in my view, and I’d highly recommend it (though it can be quite expensive)
