birthdays

Today is the 135th birthday of Sixth Officer James Moody who was born August 21st 1887. Sadly poor James never made it to 25 no less 35 but we can still mark the day. Most of us will not be talked about 135 years after our births for sure!

I would like to take a moment to remember the birthday of the amazing Charles Herbert Lightoller. If his resume were posted on Monster.com, the verdict would be "Sir, you're over-qualified!" I would also like to remember some of his descendents and kinsmen, now serving with the British...

Happy 91st birthday to the ship that we all obsess over. 91 years ago today, the RMS Titanic first achieved flotation. She stopped just being a mass of steel on a ramp and became an independant, waterborn ship. David

Today I turn 39. (Yes, really) And the same question has been posed to me as has been posed to me for many years: 'What do you want for your birthday?' It seems that in past years, the older I get, it has become a more and more difficult question to answer. I realize that I am...
