LAURA MURPHY enjoys a tour of the iconic building in the heart of the city’s Titanic Quarter and draws her own conclusions ACCORDING to Noel Molloy, the man who is tasked with the mammoth responsibility of overseeing the Titanic Belfast project, once you come to visit the finished exhibition, you’ll be there “for anywhere between two hours and two days - literally.” And having been fortunate enough to get a sneak preview of the work in progress at Titanic Quarter, I can confirm he isn’t lying....	30th August 2011
thestar.com	TITANIC GHOSTS STILL LIE ON THE OCEAN FLOOR The rococo metal frame sits forlornly on the seabed, 13,000 feet below its former grandeur as a deck bench on-board R.M.S. Titanic. Its wooden slats have long since disintegrated, yet it’s another absence that remains so haunting. Roughly 1,500 people perished when the great ship sank beneath the waves in the early hours of April 15, 1912, many of them entombed within the vessel. On a ship as vast as Titanic, a monument to the machine age, there’s something oddly fitting about the smallest items — the chairs and pots and bottles — being the most arresting links to human life, as if the micro were the only way we could ever come to terms with the sheer scale of the disaster....	17th March 2012

newsok.com	'SAVING THE TITANIC' PREMIERES APRIL 1 ON PBS She was the Pride of the British Empire and a leading example of state-of-the art engineering in a time of groundbreaking scientific and technological innovations on a global scale. Yet the RMS Titanic sank less than three hours after striking an iceberg on April 14, 1912. Everyone knows about the many deaths in the icy waters, the fates of the rich and famous on the ship's maiden voyage and the dramas that played out in the Titanic's last hours. What is less known is how a team of shipbuilders and engineers attempted to save the stricken vessel. One hundred years after the sinking of the vessel considered unsinkable, SAVING THE TITANIC is the untold story of self-sacrifice and dignity of the ship's engineers, stokers and firemen in the face of impending death....	19th March 2012
burnleyexpress.net	'TITANIC' SET TO SAIL AGAIN - IN BURNLEY BOATING LAKE A FORMER engineer has created a stunning scale model of the Titanic to mark the 100th anniversary of the ship’s tragic sinking. Maurice Hessey, of Dorset Street, spent four years piecing together thousands of tiny parts to make a replica of the iconic ocean liner which sank on April 15th, 1912. The devoted modelmaker studied the original plans of the 900ft vessel to get every single detail correct from the four working funnels down to the ship’s complex rigging. Maurice has even installed passengers on board the 4ft model including Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet’s characters from James Cameron’s 1997 Hollywood blockbuster film “Titanic”. ...	24th March 2012
bbc.co.uk	EASTLEIGH STUDENTS BUILD REPLICA OF TITANIC STEM A scaled-down replica of the front of RMS Titanic has been built by engineering students in Hampshire. Pupils at the Quilley School in Eastleigh used early 20th Century shipbuilding techniques to create the model of the ill-fated liner. The one-eighth scale section of the stem has been built to mark the 100th anniversary of the ship sinking. A topping off ceremony takes place later before it is installed as a permanent artwork on the campus. The 2m (6.5ft) tall section of the stem - the most forward part of the ship's bow - was built with the same riveting and hot bending techniques as were used to build Titanic at the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast in the 1900s....	28th March 2012

stuff.co.nz	TITANIC IS SHIPSHAPE AND READY TO GO He has not checked if it is unsinkable, but a Foxton man's scale replica of the Titanic has been making waves. The 100th anniversary of the ship's ill-fated maiden voyage is next month and Kerry Rabone's hand-crafted model will feature at a Wellington event marking the occasion. The Titanic sank on April 15, 1912, after hitting an iceberg. The tragedy claimed 1517 lives. The liner had been dubbed unsinkable by its owners and, at the time, was the largest vessel ever built. Mr Rabone said he did not want to test if his ship was unsinkable, but suspected it would probably flip. "It really stands out. People who see it are amazed," he said. "You don't just make it for yourself; you make it for people to look at." He built the ship in four months, working on the project most days. He started with a kitset for a 30-centimetre model. He measured every piece, scaled them up five times and crafted his own pieces. ...	21st March 2012
