Titanic: the unsinkable ship

706 survived. The Boston Daily Globe newspaper, from the Whitestar Lines website.

Titanic is a ship that will be familiar to most, and if you would like to listen to a podcast series about her, I can recommend Titanic: Ship of Dreams. It’s a 13 part series covering everything from the construction of the ship, to modern movies retelling the disaster, to the Titan submersible that blew up while diving to visit her.

There’s also Titanic’s Best Lifeboat, an episode of 99% Invisible discussing the issue of lifeboats on Titanic and on boats in general.

Oh, yeah! Jack & Rose could have survived on that door. There was room. But then she’d be 25 within a few years and too old for him anyway, so maybe it’s for the best how Titanic ended.

Good Morning #Canada
Today is a travel day for my wife and I so maybe I shouldn't post this travel disaster story. But on this day in 1906, the coastal passenger liner SS Valencia, with 108 passengers and 65 crew aboard, ran aground in foul weather on the southwest coast of Vancouver Island. This disaster led to many changes in navigation aid and rescue preparedness for a young Canada.

The Sinking of the S.S. Valencia

The sinking of S.S. Valencia off the west coast of Vancouver Island in January 1906 resulted in the deaths of 136 passengers, including 17 women and 11 children. This tragic accident led to a fundamental reformulation of the federal government’s policy of maritime safety and rescue in Pacific waters.
