Titanic author visits Branson
Monday 14th July 2008 4:50 PM
Branson Courier
History happens a moment at a time and is perhaps remembered most accurately that way. In terms of what happened to the Titanic at 2:20 a.m. on April 15, 1912, the memory of a mother, shared eight years later with the nine week old baby she carried into the lifeboat that fateful night just before the mighty behemoth slipped to her watery grave, might not add much to determining the cause of the tragic event.

Vested in the Titanic
Monday 7th July 2008 10:46 PM
Roanoke Times
After Christie's got $119,000 for a Titanic life jacket at an auction in London last year, Gregg Dietrich was not surprised that his phone kept ringing with offers of other items from the ill-fated ship. "When we sell one ... more seem to come out of the woodwork," said Dietrich, who heads the maritime (or "ocean liner") division of the auction house here. "We're been inundated with Titanic offers." The problem was, many of the calls came from people like the man who was certain he had all sorts of valuable Titanic keepsakes: a first-class passenger list, a menu from its Cafe Parisienne, even a passenger ticket that would have been the first ever auctioned. Except it wasn't.
