TITANIC SINKING - "A NIGHT TO REMEMBER" (1958) - 1 of 3

TITANIC SINKING - "A NIGHT TO REMEMBER" (1958) - 1 of 3

RMS (Royal Mail Ship) TITANIC
RMS Titanic Radio Page: http://www.hf.ro
Owners: White Star Line - later became Shaw Savill Line [all their ships ended with the suffix "IC"]
Transmitted Location: Lat. 41° 46′ N, Long. 50° 14′ W
Actual Location - Lat. 41° 43′ 55″ N, Long. 49° 56′ 45″ W

The Albion Line had been formed in 1856 & in 1882 it merged with Shaw Saville & Co. to become the Shaw Savill and Albion Line. Its ships still sailed predominantly to ports in New Zealand although some called in to Capetown & Sydney. A long-standing collaboration with White Star Line began with a joint service to New Zealand that lasted until White Star's merger with Cunard in 1934.
In 1933, the Furness Withy Group acquired control of the Line although it continued to operate independently. Many migrants travelled on its ships to New Zealand - never more so than in the post-war years when the Southern Cross & Northern Star were built specifically for this trade.
As the passenger trade declined in the 1970's, the Line's operations were increasingly merged with other Furness Withy concerns. In 1985, the last remaining boats to fly the Shaw Savill & Albion Line flag were merged into Furness Withy & another historic name disappeared from the seas.

NOTE - National Sound Archive ("NSA") within British Library [96 Euston Road, London NW1 2DB (www.bl.uk)] next to St Pancras/ King's Cross Railway Stations has an excellent archive of recollections of Titanic survivors.

Survivors of the RMS TITANIC sinking, like Second Officer Charles LIGHTOLLER and passenger Jack THAYER have written books describing their experiences. Some like Walter LORD, wrote the popular "A Night to Remember" undertook independent research & interviews to describe the events that happened on board ship.

Some people experienced Lucid dreams before the great ship was to sink off Newfoundland.

RMS TITANIC hit an iceberg at 11:40 pm on 14 April 1912, and sank at 2:20 am 15 April 1912].

Track down the book: "Futility, or the Wreck of the Titan" (1898) novella written by Morgan Robertson.

14 years later in 1912 - Lucid Dream or Precognitive Dream [i.e. PRECOGNITION] was to become REALITY with the Sinking of the "Unsinkable" TITANIC

The book "Futility, or the Wreck of the Titan" was based on the transcription of a LUCID Dream or a Precognitive Dream - otherwise identified as a VISION of the FUTURE... [i.e. PRECOGNITION]

It serves as a warning to ALL of us - but do we tend to heed any Lucid Dreams that come to us...?

[Research: "Nostradamus" (real name: Dr Michel de Nostredame) & "The Prophecies" based on his reading of "De Mysteriis Aegyptiorum" or "On the Mysteries of the Egyptians"]

YOULAWMASTER presents the FACTS...

You have the option to research those facts or ignore them...

This film/movie illustrates the many human traits that serve to define Humanity:

Hubris, Hierarchy & Hegemony
but also
Caring, (being) Considerate & Charitable

Recognize & Identify all as the film/movie reveals itself with its carefully thought through narrative...

The TITANIC (& all who "sailed" in her) represented the whole of society - EVERY single person on board served a crucial function for the best functioning of the SHIP, for the same to operate effectively & efficiently to the benefit of all.

Like a priceless timepiece - the dereliction of duty of just one person adversely affects the WHOLE of the good operation of the ship - which is symbolic of the whole good operation of Society.

Operating in Complete UNITY or DIVIDED & Corrosive to the very Core [issues of Trust, Respect & Mutual Confidence - as we see today with the BETRAYAL of the BANKSTERS - LOOTING every asset held IN TRUST].

This is precisely what the World [based on CAPITALism] faces Today, Tomorrow & the Future...

• The Unsinkable Sank

o The unsinkable Titanic sank, and more than half of her 2200 passengers died.

o The indestructible Titan also sank, more than half of her 2500 passengers drowning.

o Went down bow first, the Titan actually capsizing before it sank.

o The names being similar (Titanic = Titan + ic)

[youlawmaster]

• Struck an iceberg

o Moving too fast at 22½ knots the Titanic struck an iceberg on the starboard side on the night of April 14, 1912 in the North Atlantic 400 miles away from Newfoundland.

o Also on an April night, in the North Atlantic 400 miles from Newfoundland (Terranova), the Titan hit an iceberg while traveling at 25 knots, also on the starboard side.

[youlawmaster]

• Lifeboats

o The Titanic carried only 16 lifeboats, plus 4 Engelhardt folding lifeboats, less than half the number required for her passenger capacity of 3000.

o The Titan carried "as few as the law allowed", 24 lifeboats, less than half needed for her 3000 capacity.

[youlawmaster]

Similarities between Titanic and Titan:

• Unsinkable

o The Titanic was the world's largest luxury liner (882 feet, displacing 53,000 tons), and was once described as being practically "unsinkable".

o The Titan was the largest craft afloat and the greatest of the works of men (800 feet, displacing 75,000 tons), and was considered "unsinkable".

[youlawmaster]

Although the novel (1898) was written before the Olympic-class Titanic had even been designed, there are some remarkable similarities between the fictional and real-life counterparts. Like the Titanic, the fictional ship sank in April in the North Atlantic, and there were not enough lifeboats for the passengers. There are also similarities between the size (800 ft long for Titan versus 882 ft 9 in long for the Titanic), speed (25 knots for Titan, 21 knots for Titanic) and life-saving equipment.

10:08 RULES!!!

@rodblaine999 I agree, actually - for instance, whether Murdoch really shot those two (I think) men dead and then himself is not known for sure. But then, it seems proven that she broke in two during the final plunge, and this may not have been known yet in '58.

[wkehl2011]

And, how about the name - "Titanic" is the adjective for "Titan", and the Titans, in Greek mythology, were a class of great warriors that tried to overthrow Zeus, the "God of Gods". They emerged only second-best, however, as Zeus quickly destroyed them with all his power and might. So, with the Titanic - and also with Morgan Robertson's Titan, for that matter - the eventual outcome was no different. Thus the name choice also contributed to the disaster.

This is without doubt the most superior version of the Titanic's story.

[FillionDollarSmile]

@youlawmaster I heard the story of the Titan aswell... Its so Creepy that 14 years BEFORE Titanic sunk someone wrote a book about a boat called "Titan" and it Sank the EXACT same as Titanic give or take a few TINY details.. Same time, Place, Reason, Names are Similar etc... Creepy !

[AfricanNaziJew]

did this ship sink or something? :/

[rodblaine999]

on the whole i think this is better than the cameron version, it seems more fact based.
