I mean, if the sunken remains of a crashed ship doesn't creep you out...

It does haunt me...well, more of a sadness than haunting. I guess you can say that I'm slightly obsessed about the ship's story. I have no idea why, though.

You're hardly the only one. It's a pretty sad, haunting story, all things considered. That stuff isn't, nor should be, easily forgotten - like a weird frozen moment in time.

Hoping one of the new releases for the show is Schindler’s List...Laurent is one of the only artists I can imagine giving the film a well-deserved/mature piece of work. Would love to see him do an image with the girl in the red coat.

I'm sure we have seen them all in color pencil form at this point.

In April 2012, (100th anniversary of the sinking), I was surfing the net for Titanic related stuff. I ended-up on twitter and found it humorous when I read tweets made by youngsters that were shocked to learn that the movie was made, in part, about a tragedy that actually happened.

One of my favorite Titanic related things - compared to a modern day cruise liner

That just nuts!

--------------------------------------------

It's a burial ground and the remains of the ship should be left in peace with those who died. This is sort of neat to imagine, though. I read the Clive Cussler novel, 'Raise the Titanic', years ago, prior to when they discovered that it had broken in two pieces.

Dirk Pitt my hero. :heart: Love some of those Cussler stories.

Edited to start when the Titanic is raised.
