Titanic Survivors

Recommended Posts

Despite several attempts, I have not yet been able to watch the whole "Titanic" movie.

I take my hat off to you for your persistance Sir.

Tmesis or the title of an unknown novel?

The rabbits did it better, but in a nutshell, the Brits are all bad, fat Kate gets her kit off, the boat and Leo sink.

And the plucky poor Oirish People are all lurverly, singing, dancing, drowning due to their evil British Capitalist Bar Stewards (who wouldn't open the gates).

 

Mind you what do you expect when you let the King of Rohan drive a boat? And that's another over-rated pile of sentimentalist (I'll carry you Mr Frodo) tosh that won Best Picture...

 

Anyone worked out where Sean Astin got his accent from, it seems to transverse the Atlantic in most sentences?

Do you do historical re-enactments?

From my quick background check:

 

Lillian Asplund 5 1/2 in 1912 is now 98 and still alive in England

 

Barbara West (Dainton) 1 in 1912 is now 94 and is still alive also living in England

 

and

 

Elizabeth Gladys "Millvina" Dean was 10 weeks old in 1912 and would be 93 now possibly residing in England.

 

All women and either 2nd or 3rd class passengers. :unsure:

We had the pleasure of meeting the youngest survivor of the Titanic Miss Milvina Dean in about 2002 at a Titanic Convention in Stratford upon Avon - she was in her 90's and a very active, energetic and entertaining lady. Obviously being only 10 weeks old when the ship went down she had no memories of the disaster. She was placed in the lifeboat with her brother and mother by her father - who was never seen again.

I think that it is quite amazing that people are still alive from the titanic tragedy as well for survivors from ww1. But i dont think that any of them are deathlist material.

 

The whole thing about it is that you must be famous not for exsample one of the thousands that were in ww1 and now your 103 or 104. That would give u respect and even the right to be known but not the deathlist type fame.

 

Though there are titanic survivors and that was a much smaller incident i would still put it in the same section as world war 1 and that being none deathlist material.

And yet in some sense wouldn't the last of each of these groupings be famous if for no other reason than that they became the last one to die? Does that not mean that even in a rather perverse way they have gained fame just by staying alive in much a way similar to those folks who live past 105 surviving on food regimens of tofu and bean sprouts? I am a firm believer that fame can be defined and even achieved in many ways.

But the point of the DL is not to select people who only become famous upon, and because of, their death. Quick, name a survivor of the Titanic or WWI.

 

I'd like to see a return of a list of 50 people everyone had actually heard of, instead of half the selections being people who are only chosen because they're 90+ and are marginally well-known
