.......has any other ship (except, perhaps, for the hallowed "U.S.S. ARIZONA") ever garnered as much attention and historical study as the tragic WHITE STAR LINE "TITANIC"?

That so many films have been produced over the decades, telling the tragic and monolithic loss of this massive, towering, stunning, graceful ocean greyhound, speaks many volumes.

The deep sense of loss regarding this once-proud and tragic ship is made even more poignant today, as her mangled, twisted, rust-encrusted remains are fast disappearing from the debris-strewn ocean bed, so far beneath the frigid waters of the North Atlantic.

Let us not forget the legacy of this once-proud liner, but, even more importantly, those many hundreds who sadly perished on that frigid, frosty, terrifying night, so long ago in April, 1912.......

"NYO"

This page (linked to a massive "TITANIC" site) details to biography of WHITE STAR LINE captain Edward John Smith.

Indeed, he had the striking appearance of the epitome of a distiniguished sea captain.

Tragically, ironically, the maiden voyage of the TITANIC was also to be the very last for Captain Smith, as he was about to retire.....sadly, indeed, it was his "final voyage".....RIP......
