Titanic Tunes, Flicks, Portents, and Everything Else You Could Want

The Titanic sank 101 years ago.  See the site Remembering the Titanic for music, books, films, recipes.

Today is the 101^st anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. It’s a story that fascinates with the convergence of wealth, nature, arrogance and coincidence.

I should know. I spent a year and a half reading, researching, watching, and listening to all things Titanic.

Here’s my master site with all the best books, movies, and music: Remembering the Titanic.

Incidentally, the 2 CD’s  I highlight Music Aboard the Titanic  and Titanic; Music As Heard on the Fateful Voyage are available for free download from Freegal. I wish I had known that before I downloaded some of the songs from Amazon.

Here’s a bunch of other stuff I put together:

Titanic Recipes  This book has recipes that were used for all the different classes on the Titanic. It also tells you how to re-create that last meal—all you need is three free days and an extra sous chef or two.

Portents of Doom  No kidding. Several years before the Titanic sank, a man wrote a novel about a huge ocean liner full of rich and complacent people that sank. I gathered quite a few those kinds of portents for this article

Things You Never Knew About the Titanic  They were never trying to set a speed record. And they wouldn’t have been able to deploy all the lifeboats even if they’d had them.

Molly Brown  Other than being “unsinkable” on the Titanic, she was quite a remarkable person in her own right.
