At 11:40 p.m tonight (about 50 minutes here in Oregon) the 100th anniversary of the Titanic hitting the iceberg will begin and it will end sometime before I wake up in the morning.
Sorry, did that sound too ominous? I'm just really thrilled I get to be alive during such an incredible (and sad) centennial anniversary! I find the Titanic so interesting.
Anyway, this thread is to share your thoughts about the Titanic (the ship, NOT the movie.) Here, I'll share mine:
Last year, I travelled through Vegas with my grandparents, three of my five cousins, and my brother, Robby. We went inside this pyramid-building (I forget the name) and inside there was the Titanic Exhibition. It was the most thrilling and interesting thing ever! (Besides the Narnia Exhibition, of course.) I got to see a HUGE side of the ship and was even given a person that was actually ON the Titanic, Charlotte Annie Collyer (nee Tate.) At the end, we got to see if we survived or not--I did! Same with my "daughter" Marjorie. My cousin Margaret's person's room was near the side of the ship that we saw, if that makes any sense.
Here's a picture of the wall:

Share your Titanic stories here, whether it be first learning about the Titanic, having a relative on the Titanic, or something Titanicy.
Happy 100th Anniversary, RMS Titanic!
