| Fernie Free Press | A TITANIC STORY Hugh Brewster captures the tragedy of the famous ship in his novel, The Deadly Voyage, with historical accuracy and real-life drama. He uses his extensive knowledge of the Titanic, which he gathered while writing Inside the Titanic and 882 1/2 Amazing Answers To Your Questions About the Titanic, to create the novel. The Deadly Voyage is part of the popular I Am Canada series, which uses events in Canadian history as a backdrop to exciting adventures of daring young men. The book focuses on 14 year old Jamie Laidlaw, who has no idea that his world is about to turn up-side down, until he finds himself in the icy waters of the north Atlantic watching the “unsinkable” ship go down.... |

Bluefish, a luxury concierge firm based in Los Angeles, first offered an expedition to the Titanic site at the bottom of the North Atlantic Sea to its private clients in 2002. The firm took only eight people to the site between 2002 and 2006. And after the recession put a stranglehold on luxury spending, Bluefish took an economy-induced hiatus. "The recession hit and everything went to pot," said Steve Sims, the concierge firm's founder. As the recovery slowly gains steam, trips to the Titanic are back on and Bluefish is now accepting bookings for 2012. ... |

These pieces were little known and never examined for their role in the sinking, and they tell a new and potentially more terrifying story of Titanic's final moments, rewriting the script that had previously been taken as fact.

It was a big deal. When the search team returned to Woods Hole, it held a brief service to honor those who died when the Titanic sank in the early hours of April 15, 1912. Now scientists have discovered large sections of the hull that suggest the ship may have split into three parts rather than two, and may have sunk much more quickly than was thought. This, Ballard said, is not a big deal. "It hit an iceberg and it sank," he said. "Get over it."... |
