Philip Hind -- Apologises for adding more headaches. I am going through a lot of trouble trying to "Log-in" and Log-out" of your message board.
Any one else gone through the same sort of aggro as I have?
Any ideas on what one should do?

I am not aware of any problems.
I am working on an integrated Registration, login logout process that will hopefully make it all easier than it is now but that is not active yet.

Philip,
I looked at the FAQ tab in the public topics and in the "Click here for various Titanic FAQS" thread there are a couple of links that are bad. The "Titanic Information Site" link goes to a site that does not appear to be Titanic related anymore and the Titanic Historical Society link gives a site not found error message.
Just wanted to make you aware of this if you were not already.
Regards
Matthew A. Farr |

Philip,
You probably got an e-mail from me recently with an article attached. I tried using the quick posting form but all I kept getting was a blank page. Hence the e-mail

Hello All-- I just wanted to make a suggestion to all "Titanicologists" (my own word)
out there that if you get the chance- go hear Mr. Charles Haas speak on the Titanic!! I was thrilled to be able to attend two of his lectures this weekend! It was fascinating to hear about his diving to the Titanic experiences!! He is a very nice man and was patient with all the audience's questions-answering each with depth!!
I got to meet him and had him sign a book for me--seeing as how it was my birthday--what a FABULOUS gift to myself huh?!!!!!!!
Thanks again Mr. Haas-- YOU made my day!!!

Hi Vicky! I always wanted to hear Haas speak on Titanic!
Bring me to quiet rest, let pass my weary guiltless ghost out of my careful breast.

I am painting a picture of the `Titanic` after she left Southern Ireland. Can anyone tell me what the weather was like that day and the approximate time the `Titanic` would have been out of sight of land? i.e in daylight, dusk, after dark etc. Many thanks. |

hello Richard,
Titanic would have been near Fastnet Rock around 3:30 pm on the afternoon. She would have altered her course then and started to lose sight of the low -lying shoreline itself by close to 4:pm. However, I understand the weather was fine at that time with a clear atmosphere.
The land near the coast in that part of the world is fairly low and rocky. However, it rises steeply to almost a thousand feet within about 10 -15 miles north of the coast.
Given Titanic's bridge height, I would have thought that people looking toward the coast would have been able to see the hills for quite a time after leaving the coast. It was mid spring so there would be light until after 7 pm but since the source of the light was to the south of westward and the hills were to the north - I would expect that all sight of land would have gone by 5-30:pm that evening. Just an educated guess. Perhaps there's a more accurate source elsewhere. |

Richard,
in his book 'The Maiden Voyage', Geoffrey Marcus has written (among other things) about the Titanic arriving at, and then leaving, Queenstown.
There are many details that could be interesting to you, not only regarding the weather.
"Late in the forenoon of Thursday, April 11th, the Titanic came within sight of the Irish coast. ... It was another fine April day, but rather too cold for sitting out on deck."
"...or strolled about the glass-sheltered promenade decks, while, across a smooth, sunlit sea, the south coast of Ireland unrolled itself mile by mile."
"Her true course when she took her departure from the Fastnet on that evening, Thursday, April 11th, was S. 68° W. The weather was fine and clear, with moderate winds from the west-south-west."

Hi Deiter!
This fits perfectly with Titanic passing along the south coast of Ireland from 2:20 in the
after noon of the 11th/ until she got to Fastnet Rock where she indeed then headed south of west. Don't know where the 'late in the afternoon' bit fits though? |

Jim,
it was "late in the forenoon" when "the Titanic came within sight of the Irish coast" on her way from Cherbourg.
Not strictly the time and place Richard has asked about, but I wanted to show a few examples of details in the book that might be interesting or inspiring to him.

Thanks Kyrila--I just couldn't think of any other word that describes what I do with my Titanic passion--So I decided to make one up for myself!! People ask me what a Titanicologist is/does and I just say I study the Titanic's history and her people! How easy is that!!
(ps--I like to call myself a "Titanic nut", but that just doesn't have the respect that "Titanicologist" has!!
Don't you agree?

I really don't need respect that badly.
The word makes me think of a man who is too short, I really can't say why.
I prefer, strongly, 'Titaniac': It has more of the irresistible and unpredictable, somewhat out of control sometimes.
