worcesternews.co.uk	TITANIC - MEMORIES FROM WHEN THE UNSINKABLE HAPPENED A NEWSPAPER found in the loft of a Worcester News reader reveals how the sinking of the Titanic was reported almost 100 years ago. The Tuesday, April 16, 1912, edition of The Daily Mirror, which was advertised with a cover price of one halfpenny, gave extensive coverage to the disaster. The famously ‘unsinkable’ ocean liner struck an iceberg in the Atlantic Ocean off Newfoundland at 11.40pm on Sunday, April 14, 1912, during her maiden voyage. Two hours and 40 minutes later she had plunged to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, taking more than two thirds of her passengers and crew to their deaths. ...	21st March 2012
BBC News	JAMES CAMERON DIVES TO DEEPEST OCEAN POINT He made the descent alone in a prototype submarine called "Deepsea Challenger", taking around two hours to reach the bottom. Once he reached a depth of 10,898 metres (35,756 ft), his first words up to the suface were: "All systems OK." His craft is kitted out with cameras and lights so he can film the deep. This is only the second manned expedition to the ocean's deepest depths - the first took place in 1960. The earlier descent was made by US Navy Lt Don Walsh and Swiss oceanographer Jacques Piccard. They spent about 20 minutes on the ocean floor but their landing kicked up silt, meaning their view was obscured. Before the dive, the Titanic director told the BBC, that making the descent was "the fulfilment of a dream"....	25th December 2011

dgstandard.co.uk	RED ROSES FOR TITANIC HERO MUSICIAN - JOCK HUME ALMOST a century has past since the great ocean liner, the RMS Titanic, collided with an iceberg on its maiden voyage. The worst maritime disaster at peacetime in living history claimed the lives of 1,517 people on April 15, 1912, including that of one of the ship’s musicians, a young man called John Law Hume. Born and raised in Dumfries, before joining the ill-fated band of musicians on the White Star Ocean liner, the body of 21-year-old Jock was recovered from the waters of the Northern Atlantic by the MacKay Bennett shortly after the Titanic sank. His unidentified body was buried in May of that year at Fairview Cemetery, Halifax, Nova Scotia....	4th November 2011
Roxborough Review	TITANIC BEING EATEN AWAY Had the Titanic not sunk, it eventually would have been scrapped. Because it sank, the wreckage has been preserved all this time. However, the wreck will not be preserved forever. It is slowly deteriorating, and deterioration will not only continue, but accelerate. The deterioration, in fact, has a biologic cause. The depth to which the ship sank helped preserve the wreckage all these years because it is an oxygen-poor region of the abyssal ocean floor. There is no light at that depth. Photographs and videos of the wreckage depend on artificial lights carried aboard the deep sea submersibles that dive on the wreck. But microbes are eating the steel of which the ocean liner was built. Formations known as rusticles form on the ship's steel as the microbes eat away at the metal. Bronze fixtures of the ship are not affected by the microbes....	9th February 2006
