Early in her career, Majestic II was too large to be drydocked at any facility in the U.K. and needed to go to the U.S. Navy Yard at Boston for periodic refreshment. Here's a photo of what I think was the first such visit, from The Boston Sunday Globe of 5 August 1923. It wasn't until 1934...

I put together what “breaking news” looked like in the Boston Herald on the morning of April 16. Newspapers handled breaking news with multiple editions with small or large changes throughout the day. I have the complete, original early morning edition of the Herald for April 16, thanks to my...

I was at a garage sale 3 years ago. I was looking through a box of Time Life Magazines from the 50's. I think they were time life but they were old and covered in dust and smelled like a musty old basement. In between a couple magazines I pulled out a news paper. The Boston Daily Globe, April...

The 1998 Titanic Artifact Exhibit in Boston will always shine as my favorite- as 2 research ships from Titanic expedition 98' (the ill fated 'Ocean Voyager' and the 'Abielle Supporter') moored accross the street- and the 'Big Piece' was brought straight from the wrecksite, and was exhibited in...

One thing I lost in my travels between the Titanic exhibits was the staff contact lists from my past exhibits, so I lost the contact info for the friends I made at the Boston and St. paul Titanic exhibits. If any of my dozen Boston Titanic exhibit coworkers, or 800 plus corps of volunteers...
