Wherever they happened to die...
It's been thirty years since I heard that "joke" the first time. I
*really* could have gone another thirty without hearing it again.

Was that before or after they died?

Well, actually that's not such a trick question because most of the
"survivors" of the Titanic disaster have now passed away.
Sorry, I couldn't pass that up.

I hardly think survivors would like to be buried...they've had enough trauma
already.

I don't get it? Most of them at the Titanic Cemetery in Halifax, Nova
Scotia. The others (First Class) in their respected home towns. Where's the
trick in the question friend?

But some of the survivors over WERE buried over the past 86 years as, one
by one, they shuffled off this mortal coil.

With all the interest generated by the movie and the recent Christie's
auction's of Titanic Telegrams and fittings from the Olympic and other
memorabilia for record setting prices, I have come to a serious conculsion.
"FOR SALE ORIGINAL TITANIC ADVETISHING POSTER"
"OWN A RARE PIECE OF ORIGINAL TITANIC MEMORABILA"
Original Titanic poster, used by White Star Lines in 1911-1912 to introduce the
new Olympic and Titanic.
This poster is of the famous pre-maiden voyage illustration of the Titanic and
Olympic passiing at sea, done by famous White Star Line Illustrator Montique M.
Black in 1911. (Illustration was also used on the famous pre-maiden voyage
Postcards.)
This poster was produced by the Liverpool printing & stationary company for use
in White Star Line offices around the world. This poster was most likely the
one that hung on the wall in the White Star Line office in Boston.
For those of you interested now, please refer to Ken Shultz's Catalog 56 the
cover or Item number 600. This is the same original poster discovered by
myself in an antique shop in NH in 1995.
What is interesting about this poster is that after the disaster the White Star
Line offices silk screened over the name Titanic on the poster to eliminate the
name. Unlike Ken Shultz's this poster is yet unrestored and the origanal text
can be seen fading thru on the poster.
Current Test:
R.M.S. Olympic, 45,324 Tons / The Largest Steamer in the World
Original Text:
"Olympic", 45,000 Tons - "Titanic", 45,000 Tons / The Largest Steamers in the
world.
The original text was silk screened over in a gold plague to look like brass
and the current text added in dark blue.
The rest of the poster has the original text and wide green border. This
poster unlike the previous one sold by Ken Shultz is still in its original
White Star Line frame with the original leather name plaque for the RMS
Olympic. Which reads
White Star Line
RMS Olympic
Surrounded by two white stars and "New Triple Screw Steamers" and "The Largest
Vessels in the World"
But is appears that this plaque was glued on over another which probably has
the name "Tiitanic" on it.
Now based on the fact that the tonnage reads 45,324 White Star lines could only
have used this revised poster until October of 1912. As Olympic's tonnage
changed on all advertishing at this point. So it was taken down and disgarded
to a basement.
This is a rare oppertunity for anyone interseted in obtaining one of only "SIX"
known posters in the world to exsist with "Titanic's" name on it at this time.
There are only two copies of this poster know to exsist as the originals were
quickly disgarded after the disaster. Only one of the "SIX" known posters is
in a museum at this time the rest are in private hands. (Of the six no two
images are the same.)
This poster will need to be restored somewhat for show condition, but it is a
one and only original, in the frame and still on it's original linen backing.
The size of this poster is increadable 56" X 48" with frame, The bow of the
image of the ship is 14 1/2 inches the length of the ship is 38 Inches, the
first funnel is over 11 inches high. (Some details to prove it is real) Also
another little fact there are three images to the left of the ships bow in
black that are silowets of British Battleships.
SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY!!!! BY PRIVATE E-MAIL

ALL OFFERS OVER $50,000 US WILL BE CONCIDERED

hear for a lot more then his asking price.

Yes, that's a little-known adjunct to the story. I'm sure there were a
number of others who were once aboard Titanic (sea trials, for instance),
but I think it's understood that when we talk about survivors, most
people mean survivors of the sinking. I.e. "survivors who didn't
disembark in a normal fashion." :-)
