1912

Hi all, I am sure many of you have noticed it already - some maybe not: this 90th anniversary is in some way more attractive than the 100th could be: this year we have the same week as in 1912: the ship left Southampton on Wednesday April 10th. This year we also have a Wednesday for this...

Hey all, I stumbled across the 1912 edition of "Who's Who" in my university's library. As an avid Titanic fan, I found it really interesting in that it contained the biographies; hobbies/past-times; club membership and addresses for a few of the Titanic's notable passengers. Amongst those...

Somebody asked where to get a copy of the big hardbound version of the U.S. Senate disaster hearings, and I've misplaced the thread. This book is still a whopping $100, but well worth it, and is still avaiable through Amazon.com at...

Here's my uninformed question of the day: I'm knee-deep in Senan's Irish Aboard and I've come across a title (I think) that I don't understand. What is an "Orangemen" and what was the "Rome Rule" that was passed in April 1912?? And maybe knowing what Rome Rule is would answer this question...

I heard that the Woolworth Building, the tallest building on earth in 1912, is likely going to collapse. Apparently, falling debris from the World Trade Center compromised its structural integrity. For those who don't know, the Woolworth Building was the tower that was shown in the famous...

Hi Everyone, Who can tell me where I can find these types of things (1912 attire, Titanic-type party favors, Titanic invitations, etc.. for a Titanic party? I am starting a Titanic club for my students this year and plan to have a Titanic party.

I have another question for you erudite folks. I'm writing a story about a fictional woman who, when climbing into her lifeboat on the Titanic, was handed a child and entreated to safe his life. She did of course, but--let me ask you, since there seem to be so many legally-informed people...

Didn't seem to be a place for this category- although it is a fascinating subject. If Titanic's First Class was supposed to feel like an English country house, I wonder what Third Class was supposed to be. Looking over the first artifacts, one of the very first images which came back was the...
