Granted some of the Titanic groups are mired with squabbles and age old feuds, but by and large there is a unique bond between buffs in the Titanic community. We all share a special bond- a powerful attraction to the lore of Titanic, which non Titanic buffs will never understand, that has gripped many of us since childhood, and has brought many of us together, sparking great friendships..
Titanic buffs bend over backwards to share with other buffs what they know about the ship and her passengers- Particularly here- I am amazed at how generous most Titanic buffs are with each other...
But for some Titanic buffs, Titanic is a very personal thing, not to be shared with anyone, and such people get very insecure when they meet other buffs who have bigger collections or know more about the ship than they do- But such people I think are rare in the titanic community.........
I'm just glad I found groups like THS, TI, BTS, the Titanic lists, ET, the Titanic modeler's site and Andrew Clarkson's site..
As a tot, I languished as the only titanic buff in my community- Now i know dozens- and all of you- i feel really lucky ....
I didn't meet another Titanic buff until 1987, when i was 19.
Has anyone else been struck by the unique Titanic bond we all share?
There is a sense of community here that I really cherish...
