A contact form!?

So, you may have noticed there is a "contact form" now. Why did I make this? Because some of you Titanic buffs have urgent Titanic questions, and look it up on the internet in a flash but get inaccurate answers. Now, if you have a urgent question you can ask me, and I'll reply with a accurate answer! I might even turn it into a post...

Should artifacts from the wreck be taken?

There has been a long debate about 1 thing: Should we take artifacts from the wreck site of Titanic? Many people believe it is robbing a grave site, while others think it's good to take them before they rust. Personally, I say we should take the artifacts. I understand it's a grave site, but we should take the artifacts before they rust and put them on display in exhibits, so when Titanic rusts away we will have the artifacts, to remember her. What do you think? Should we take artifacts from the wreck site, or leave them be? 

Top 3 Titanic Exhibits

There are a lot of Titanic Exhibits. There is one in Missouri, one in Las Vegas, one in California, etc. But, which ones are the best? Which ones are the most interactive? This list features some of my favorite Titanic Exhibits, and will help you choose which one you want to go to.

The Titanic Museum In Branson, Missouri: By far the most interactive and interesting Titanic Exhibit.  You get to walk on the Grand Staircase, tap out your own SOS message, steer the ship, and a lot more! Interested? Check out their website: http://www.titanicattraction.com/. 

Titanic The Artifact Exhibition: Located in The Luxor Hotel and Casino, this amazing exhibit will bring you back to 1912. You will be able to view extensive room re-creations and view lots of artifacts, including perfume, china etched with the logo of the elite White Star Line, and pieces of the ship itself - All recovered from the wreck site. Interested? Check out their website: https://www.luxor.com/entertainment/titanic.aspx.

Titanic The Experience: Located in Buena Park, CA this amazing exhibits features full scale recreations of famous Titanic rooms, including her Grand Staircase, First Class Parlor Suite and Boilers.

All these exhibits are truly amazing, and tell the story of Titanic very well. 

White Star Buff

All of you guys have seen those inaccurate Titanic paintings with mustard yellow colored funnels. Guess what? WRONG. They weren't mustard colored. Just imagine how ugly that would be. I mean, really. So, what color were they? We will never know. But let's take some guesses. The first guess is the color of the Nomadic's funnels. Now, the Nomadic is the only remaining White Star Line ship remaining. The funnel color on the Nomadic is a really light yellowish/tan. Mostly tan. Now, you may be going "THAT IS WHITE STAR BUFF IT'S ORIGINAL!!!" Well, sure you may be right that it's original, but it has been restored of course. I mean, the ship was built in 1911. So, when we repainted it we might have done it wrong. James Cameron's Titanic movie shows the funnels with a color similar to the Nomadic's. Another depiction of White Star Buff is a really light tan. I seriously doubt this color, it just doesn't make sense to me. Another depiction of White Star Buff is orange and yellow mixed together. I personally like this color, and the Titanic Exhibit agreed this is the best we can get. So, what depiction of White Star Buff do you think is the most accurate? Nomadic Style, James Cameron Style, Really Lame Mustard Color Style, Tan Style, Or Orange And Yellowish Style?

Titanic's Breakup

Many people say "the Titanic hit an iceberg and sank, the end." Or they say "It sank and split between the 3rd and 4th funnel, the bow dragged the stern up and then let go. Stern then sank" Well, those people are...WRONG. First, let's look at the wreck site. On the bow you can see 2 funnel shafts, where the funnels used to be. On the stern...only one funnel shaft. Where is the 3rd? It probably got ripped off when the stern was rapidly falling down to the bottom of the ocean. Also, on the bow wreckage there is a huge piece that folds downward behind the 2nd funnel shaft. What is this? The piece in between the 2nd and 3rd funnel, which now shows that not only did it break between the 2nd and 3rd funnel, it specifically broke right in FRONT of the 3rd funnel. So, now we know that Titanic broke in two right in front of the 3rd funnel. Now, let's pretend were in a lifeboat, and we see the power go out and the ship split in two in front of the 3rd funnel. This is the part were a lot of Titanic Controversy has taken place. What happened when she split. Now, a lot of the Titanic Rookies (That's my way of saying Titanic Noobs) believe (Mostly because of James Cameron) that the ship split in between the 3rd and 4th funnel, and the stern fell back and was then pulled vertical by the bow, then the bow let's go of then stern and let's the stern sink. Well...FALSE. First: We know the split happened between the 2nd and 3rd funnel, right in front of the 3rd funnel specifically. Second: She had list to port, and I doubt it happened this way. So, let's cross that one of the list. The next theory is a bit complicated, so just click the link to the video. It'll be explained better there, trust me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWzU-z1p1ro. Anyway, if you watched that theory you saw that it broke between the 3rd and 4th funnel. Which, by now, we know is false. Plus, this theory just seems too far fetched. However, the mangling together makes sense, in a way, but we'll get to that later. The next theory is also a bit complicated, so just click the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSGeskFzE0s. The next theory, is Jack Thayer's drawings. They indeed may seem to make no sense at all, but maybe it did happen the way he shows it. If you want to see the drawing, here it is:

 Now, he says the bow was visible, and was pointing up out of the water and the stern was in a pretty high angle. He then says the bow sank, and the stern moved where the bow sank a second or two ago. Then, the stern sank. Now, this gives proof that maybe Titanic did indeed mangle together. I mean, it makes sense. Think of it: The ship is sinking, and it mangles together to the point where the bow (Which was underwater) is now visible and is pointing up. The stern (Which is mangled into the bow) gets into a high angle. The bow then sinks, and the stern moves where the bow just sank a second or 2 ago. This is the part that doesn't add up. How did the stern move around? Since we probably won't know, we'll just call this theory a maybe. The other theory comes from a History Channel documentary. Here, have the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_09XR-P86nw&list=UUHdlAcrNTTYkwzkNIXSuFMA&feature=c4-overview. Ok, if you actually watched that video that I just sent you, it seems pretty good. I mean, it shows the keel holding on to the stern, and it shows the split in front of the 3rd funnel. I am calling this theory and the Nat Geo theory a maybe. Now, those are the top 4 theories. There are a TON more theories of how the ship split. Now, since we will probably never know how she really sank, or split to be specific, let's just say the stern floated there and sank. Sound good? Ok then.
