A NIGHT TO REMEMBER Trailer

100 years ago this month, the illustrious RMS Titanic, on her maiden voyage, sailed dangerously through heavy ice in the North Atlantic on her way to New york. Such was the ship’s titanic size (to use the pun), the amount of water that it took for the “unsinkable” ship to overspill beyond its water-tight compartments (that were only as high as the first 5 decks) meant that it was a whole hour and a half – until approximately 1am on April 15th – before the ship sank.

“Titanic” to be re-released in 3D

Cruise History News from http://cruiselinehistory.com/.
“Titanic” to be re-released in 3D – Many films (for the Cinema and TV) were made about the ill-fated ship. From a banned Nazi version to Cameron’s over the top blockbuster.

A little bit over a decade ago, the movie Titanic became a real box office smasher with girls crying their eyes out watching Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet try to survive the disaster.

It was so 1997.

Titanic’s Oscar-winning director James Cameron is eying the film’s major digital makeover. He said he wanted to “dimensionalize” the blockbuster film set aboard the RMS Titanic and turn it into one of the most impressive 3D movies the world has ever seen, MTV reported.

Cameron is inspired by his 3D flick Avatar and plans to re-release Titanic 3D sometime in 2011.

Cruise line history looks at the Post Office aboard the Titanic. A little known part of the Titanic story.

On April 9th, 1912 the RMS Titanic struck an iceberg in the Atlantic Ocean and sunk less than three hours later, killing more than 1,500 people. Amongst the dead were five postal workers, British citizens James Williamson and Jago Smith and US citizens William Gwinn, John March and Oscar Woody.

RMS stands for Royal Mail Ship, indicating that the Titanic was contracted to carry mail. The Titanic had a Post Office and Mail Room deep in the ship on decks F and G, the blue prints of which are held by the BPMA. The five postal workers were tasked with sorting much of the mail which had been brought on board the ship, 3,364 bags in total, as well as dealing with any letters which were posted on the ship by passengers and crew.
