It was so nice to hear about your Titanic experiences, because it made me to remembered how I got into the world of Titanic. I was only 6 years old in the late 1980's when my parents told me about this beautiful ship and it's fateful voyage, and after that I've started to collect books, models, letters, opinions and everything related to the ship or the company. I must agree that Titanic helped me to understand history in a new and more personal way, because I always have a ´home´in 1912 where I can travel back and forth in history.
I was really surprised when I heard they were making a new film about Titanic in the 1990's, but at the same time I felt a bit nervous because Iwasn't sure if it could bring back the essential parts of that era and not only making too sweet love story. The real movie was good, even excellent and i can watch it again and again and still find new ways to analyse it. At the same time it helped me to find more information about White Star etc. and I'm sure that there wouldn't be this internet site if there wasn't that movie.
