The Death of this Blog

Hey all. Yes, I am still alive. Not dead .But I am afraid that, due to certain reasons, this blog, after this post, will officially be inactive. I have a new book project, and I have just other things to focus on. This blog was really what kept me busy back in 2014, and it was a fantastic journey. Thank you to all my supporters, especially Tom McGlinchey, a huge supporter and a good friend of mine. Now, with great sadness, my journey ends here. I can still remember my first post on this blog when I was a huge Titanic rookie. Feel free to look back on my old posts, but be warned, stupidity ahead. Goodbye, all.

September 1st, 1985.

29 years ago today, the mighty RMS Titanic was found by Robert Ballard. If she wasn't found, many things would still be a mystery like if she split in two or not. Because she was found, we have learned many things from the wreck such as that she split in two. To this day, we still learn many things from the wreck.

My Titanic Artwork!

Yesterday, I commissioned artwork from Tony Strublic, who is a very talented artist that can draw many things like Great Lake Freighters and Ocean Liners! The artwork I commissioned from is a drawing of the glorious RMS Titanic being launched, and I am very excited and cannot wait for it to be done. I will post artwork update here on this blog, and work on the artwork will start tomorrow. Yay!

                                    More Details Will Be Added In The Final Drawing!

The Titanic Belfast Grand Staircase.

            

In the words of the amazing Kyle Hudak: "I'm not sure "exact replica" is the correct term."

And he's 100 percent right. The Belfast Museum Grand Staircase is not a exact replica at all. The museums in Branson and Pigeon Forge have a really accurate Grand Staircase, with only minor inaccuracies. 

My Titanic Facebook Group

First of all, before I start talking about my new Titanic Facebook Group, I would like to say sorry to everyone who tunes into this blog. For the past couple of days, I haven't been posting stuff. Why? First of all, my computer has been having technical issues. Second, life is getting more stressful and time-consuming. And third is, honestly, I have been running out of ideas. But don't worry! This blog will never die. Even though I may not post very often, I will still post.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I have my own Titanic Facebook Group now called the Titanic Discussion Group. On there, you can talk about anything Titanic. The construction, technical details, the wreck, the maiden voyage, mysteries about the ship, the passengers and crew, etc. Talking about the movie and talking about the whole switch theory is not allowed though. If you would like to join, here is the link: My Titanic Facebook Group!

When Did The Power Go Out?

The common belief is that the power went out a minute or so before the ship broke in two. However, Thomas Ranger stated that when she broke, the power in the bow failed but remained on in the stern until the stern sank. Joshua Noble, a Titanic expert, believes this because it comes from a survivor who was there. However, Roy Mengot, also a Titanic expert, says the power would go out when she split because when the ship split, it would cut the steam to the dynamos. Obviously, there is a ton of debate about when the power went out. Honestly, you can pick whatever one you want. They are all acceptable at this point, since we don't know for sure.
