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

moviefone.com	9 THINGS WE LEARNED WHILE WATCHING THE 'TITANIC' IN 3D EARLY FOOTAGE On Tuesday morning, eight separate scenes of 'Titanic' -- now converted to include the dimension of depth (scientists call this "3D") -- were screened for the press. Director James Cameron (who spoke one-on-one with Moviefone last night) was also in attendance to discuss what's in store for the public when we all head back to 'Titanic' in April. What's that? You're too cool to see 'Titanic'? Oh, come on, admit it: you're going. I'm going. We're all going to see 'Titanic' on the big screen again. Regardless, with Cameron in attendance -- and with eight finished 3D scenes to show -- here are the nine things learned while attending the 'Titanic' in 3D press conference. ...	11th October 2011
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

marketwatch.com	CANADA POST COMMEMORATES CANADIAN TITANIC TIES WITH STAMPS Canada Post unveiled today the images of the five stamps that will be issued on April 5 to mark the centennial of the sinking of RMS Titanic. The collection, created by Haligonian design team of Dennis Page and Oliver Hill, showcases the best-known ship in the world with depth and realism and adds some poignant Canadian attributes. Canadians, and the citizens of Halifax, Nova Scotia, in particular, played a central role in the Titanic event through recovery efforts. "To this day, Canada, and especially Halifax, has an enduring and remarkably human connection to the Titanic story," says the Honourable Peter MacKay, Minister of National Defence and Regional Minister for Nova Scotia. "The Canadian legacy of the Titanic still resonates strongly with everyone." ...	20th March 2012

telegraph.co.uk	TITANIC, ITV1, PREVIEW Few TV dramas come so freighted with expectation as ITV1's four-parter Titanic. Not only does it commemorate the 100th anniversary of the world’s most dwelt-upon disaster but, scripted by Julian Fellowes, it invites comparison, inevitably, with Downton Abbey, as well as James Cameron’s vastly popular 1997 blockbuster Titanic. This opening episode begins with the embarkation of passengers in Southampton, and ends with their mid-Atlantic flight to the lifeboats two nights later. In between we meet a large cast of characters: in first class, Hugh, Earl of Manton (Linus Roache) and his rebellious daughter Lady Georgiana Grex (Perdita Weeks); in second class, Manton’s Irish lawyer John Batley (Toby Jones) and his firebrand wife Muriel (Maria Doyle Kennedy); and thereon down through the social strata to steerage passengers and crew. There are lots of rich Americans – Astors, Wideners, even a Guggenheim. But what’s lacking is any sense of drama, even of being aboard a ship, or, when catastrophe strikes, much air of urgency. That said, a glimpse of episode two – which goes back to the ship’s beginnings – promises more drama and depth. ...	22nd March 2012
