Re: (off topic) Unsinkable 97 years ago.

If you ever make it to Bransom, MO; I highly recommend paying a visit to the Titanic museum. The building itself is shaped like the forward half of the ship (scaled down somewhat); as you pay to enter, you are given a card that bears the name of a crewman or passenger. As you go through the museum, you learn what life may have been like for that person and others aboard ship; and at the very end, you find out if they survived or perished.

There is large scale model of it intact in the entrance foyer; and later in the tour a similiar scale model of the bow as it now appears on the ocean floor. There is also a replica of one for the ship's boilers; and you are invited to take a stab at stoking it with a correct weight shovel. A more grim exhibit is a section with the portion of the ship's deck at various angles; giving you an idea of how hard it was to hang on as the stern rose in the air; and a bowl of freezing water, which you are invited to keep your hand in as long as you can stand.
