The museum covers the Titanic from its creation to discovery, utilizing detailed models, life-sized sets, digital screens, lighting design, sound, and artwork. There are more areas of the ship to explore than have been seen before, meant to make you feel as much as possible as if you are on the ship.

The lobby of the museum is modeled after the atrium of the Bradbury Building; three stories with bird-cage elevators. The main floor contains the ticket/information desk and gift shop. The balconies host a replica of the Cafe Parisien and Palm Courts for dining. Also accessible from the balconies is a bookshop, models of other famous ocean liners throughout history, and illustrated timelines detailing dates and facts of ocean liner travel.

Once leaving the shipyard from the second floor of the balcony, guests enter a room containing a large model of the finished Titanic. The lighting in the room is meant to simulate evening, and the ship is lit up. Around the room are various marketing materials for the ship, including advertisements, newspaper clippings, and prices for the passage. Also noted, and debunked, are various Titanic myths. At the other end of this room is a riveted wall, meant to give the impression of the side of the ship, where an open door leads guests into Titanic.

However, in this episode (part two of two), our host, Simon Majumdar, will look at the food served to second and first class passengers, which tells us about society and the way people ate at the time.

Hey guys I'm greg from Gold Coast Australia I also have another build log going and that's for the BLACK PEARL from hachette I bought this kit off a lady in Perth Australia who's husband had sadly past away a few years ago and she had collected all 100 issues every week for him but he was unable to start/ complete it it's copy righted 2001 so it's a good 13 years old all the issues are unopened except for issue 1 I am currently up to issue 8 and was wondering if anyone has done this partworks before if you have please feel free to help me with any tips or tricks as this TITANIC and the BLACK PEARL are both my 1st builds my girlfriend has been on my back for months now saying that I need a hobby and I saw the add on tv for the BLACK PEARL and so I thought I would give it ago I do know that the partworks are EXPENSIVE the BLACK PEARL. Is around $2,500 and the TITANIC was around $1,100 but I was able to pick it up for $350 I personally like the idea of having a magazine with every issue because you can learn a fair bit about what you are making as a example did you know that a first class ticket on the TITANIC would cost in today's money $100,00

As long as it's the original Tite Bond, water should work. Depending on how long it's been glued you may have to let it soak for a while. If you can get a wet rag or gauze or something up against the connection you want to de-bond, and keep it wet for a while, it should free up after a while.

Another thing that may work to break bond is vinegar Greg. soak a cloth in vinegar and apply it directly on glue. let it soak well in. then gently try to rock pieces apart. If it doesnt work repeat process but never force joint to much. try to separate it gradually between soaks.

Hey guys it's 11months since I last posted on this build log I've moved 2 hours away new job got back with the mrs a new baby on the way and started collecting the mallard and u96 uboat partworks witch I will start build logs for them soon and just received a full set of the endeavour partwork for $350 delivered

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.

A bachelor, Emil enjoyed working with his brothers and traveled a great deal. In late January 1912, he went to Europe to visit his niece, Mrs. Irving Stern (Ruth, the daughter of his brother Arthur) and her husband in Italy. The trio traveled through Spain, Egypt, and Rome to Vevey, Switzerland, where they visited his sister, Sarah Brandeis Cohn. Sarah had been widowed less than a year.

A few days before I started writing this post, I saw an article in the Omaha World-Herald that the Brandeis Mansion, built in 1904 for Arthur Brandeis and his wife, Zerlina, has been fully restored and is enjoying a comeback with new owners. Christi has attended parties there in recent years. Omahans are pleased to see a happy piece of their past is still alive and well.

Thank you for some Omaha history. Brandeis was very important in my young and adult life. When I was 11 (1953), I got lost in the downtown store. A man in a suit approached. Asked if I was OK. Told him I lost my friend. He gave me a stick of gum, and reassured me that we will find her. We did. He was store security. Oh the good old days. Thanks again.

Do story with bookends of present-day scene of wreck using submersibles inter-cut with memory of a survivor and re-created scenes of the night of the sinking. A crucible of human values under stress. A certainty of slowly impending doom (metaphor). Division of men doomed and women and children saved by custom of the times. Many dramatic moments of separation, heroism, and cowardice, civility versus animal aggression. Needs a mystery or driving plot element woven through with all this as background.

Apparently there is a superstition (perhaps more relevant to boats with sails) that depicting a boat sailing in the same direction as its flags and sails indicate it should be sailing is bad luck. Perhaps this is the digital equivalent of averting that superstition, applied to a boat that primarily uses an engine for propulsion?

The very banal story of the pretty girl having to marry an unlikable rich man, but instead falling in love with the poor young artist for me was just diminishing the real tragedy of the sinking of the Titanic,

For the Atari 800 family of computers the best PC emulator is Altirra, and on Android devices Colleen will do the trick. Both have gui interfaces to use though Colleen is particular on where you poke and prod on the screen to access stuff.

The wreck of RMS Titanic lies at a depth of about 12,500 feet (3,800 metres; 2,100 fathoms), about 370 nautical miles (690 kilometres) south-southeast off the coast of Newfoundland. It lies in two main pieces about 2,000 feet (600 m) apart. The bow is still recognisable with many preserved interiors, despite deterioration and damage sustained hitting the sea floor. In contrast, the stern is heavily damaged. A debris field around the wreck contains hundreds of thousands of items spilled from the ship as she sank. The bodies of the passengers and crew would also be distributed across the seabed, but have since been consumed by other organisms.

Controversial salvage operations have recovered thousands of items from the Titanic, which have been conserved and put on public display. Many schemes have been proposed to raise the wreck, including filling it with ping-pong balls, injecting it with 180,000 tons of Vaseline, or using half a million tons of liquid nitrogen to encase it in an iceberg that would float to the surface. However, the wreck is too fragile to be raised and is protected by a UNESCO convention.

In later years, numerous proposals were put forward to salvage the Titanic. However, all fell afoul of practical and technological difficulties, a lack of funding and, in many cases, a lack of understanding of the physical conditions at the wreck site. Charles Smith, a Denver architect, proposed in March 1914 to attach electromagnets to a submarine which would be irresistibly drawn to the wreck's steel hull. Having found its exact position, more electromagnets would be sent down from a fleet of barges which would winch the Titanic to the surface.[7] An estimated cost of US$1.5 million ($35.5 million today) and its impracticality meant that the idea was not put into practice. Another proposal involved raising the Titanic by means of attaching balloons to her hull using electromagnets. Once enough balloons had been attached, the ship would float gently to the surface. Again, the idea got no further than the drawing board.[8]

In the mid-1960s, a hosiery worker from Baldock, England, named Douglas Woolley devised a plan to find the Titanic using a bathyscaphe and raise the wreck by inflating nylon balloons that would be attached to her hull.[9] The declared objective was to "bring the wreck into Liverpool and convert it to a floating museum".[10] The Titanic Salvage Company was established to manage the scheme and a group of businessmen from West Berlin set up an entity called Titanic-Tresor to support it financially.[9] The project collapsed when its proponents found they could not overcome the problem of how the balloons would be inflated in the first place. Calculations showed that it could take ten years to generate enough gas to overcome the water pressure.[11]

A variety of proposals to salvage the ship were made during the 1970s. One called for 180,000 tons of molten wax (or alternatively, Vaseline) to be pumped into the Titanic, lifting her to the surface.[12] Another proposal involved filling the Titanic with ping-pong balls, but overlooked the fact that the balls would be crushed by the pressure long before reaching the depth of the wreck.[13] A similar idea involving the use of Benthos glass spheres, which could survive the pressure, was scuppered when the cost of the number of spheres required was put at over $238 million.[12]
