Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition commemorated the Centennial of RMS Titanic’s launch and eventual sinking Tuesday, April 10 with a special candlelit vigil at Luxor Hotel and Casino. A Titanic descendant and 185 Griffith Elementary School students took part in the ceremony dedicated to remembering those who lost their lives on RMS Titanic.

Recently studying the Ship of Dreams and its ill-fated voyage across the Atlantic, the students explored the Exhibition, reliving the story of Titanic through more than 300 authentic artifacts. The students also wrote an essay to explain why the story continues to resonate with people around the world today based on Irish philosopher Jack Foster’s quote, “We are all passengers on Titanic.” One student was selected to share her essay during the ceremony.

Following the reading, students heard the tale of Titanic retold by Tom Goldsmith, descendant of survivorFrank John William Goldsmith. Tom spoke about his grandfather’s journey and experience aboard Titanic.

“RMS Titanic and Premier Exhibitions have provided the world with a window into the past. They have paid the utmost attention to detail both in the recovery of items and their preservation and display. As a descendent of a survivor, I enjoy visiting as many of them as I can because I feel closer to my grandfather and the stories he told me,” says Goldsmith.

In addition, Alexandra Klingelhofer, Vice President of Collections for Premier Exhibitions and RMS Titanic, Inc., spoke about the conservation and preservation efforts of Titanic so that people can see and experience the majesty and tragedy 100 years after its sinking and beyond. The ceremony ended with a candlelit vigil and a shared moment of silence to honor those who suffered or were lost aboard Titanic.

“The centennial of Titanic’s sinking is a chance for people all over the world to come together and remember those who were lost on April 15, 1912,” states Klingelhofer. “It’s important for Titanic’s legacy to live on throughout generations, which is why we are excited to have Griffith Elementary School join us for the candlelit vigil.”

When the RMS Titanic –the ultimate symbol of a hopeful and ambitious time when anything seemed possible — struck an iceberg and sank during her maiden trans-Atlantic voyage on April 15, 1912, the world was stunned and a legend was born that continues to fascinate and enthrall a century later.

The remarkable stories of the Titanic – moving tales of heroism, cowardice, tragedy and triumph — as well as vivid photos that bring these resonant real-life dramas to life are featured in TITANIC: The Tragedy That Shook the World (Time Home Entertainment; Hardcover; $29.95), available in bookstores everywhere or at life.com/books/titanic.

The saga of the ill-fated luxury liner unfolds in photos and narrative in over 140 pages in this deluxe book.  It begins with the construction of a behemoth, one of three enormous sister ships built by the White Star line to usher in a new era of sea-going luxury.

The Titanic offered the finest accommodations to its first-class passengers, who included some of New York’s most notable social figures, from Astor to Guggenheim. Also on board, in the lower decks, were commoners and crew whose onboard experience was far less glamorous.  Just four days into their voyage, that segregation would end as all were brought together in tragedy.

TITANIC: The Tragedy That Shook the World chronicles the ship’s rapid descent into the icy Atlantic, botched distress communications and the horror as thousands of passengers and crew realized that there were not nearly enough lifeboats to save them all.  It also looks at the dramatic rescue of hundreds of passengers by the nearby ship Carpathia, whose captain emerged as one of the most visible heroes of this great tragedy.

Although there are no photographs of the Titanic disaster, there is a remarkable record of images of the ship’s final days thanks to Irish cleric and vocational photographer Father Frank Browne.  His photos as a passenger aboard the doomed vessel, many of which are featured in the book, offer an intimate depiction of what life was like aboard the Titanic  before it met its ultimate fate.

A flurry of published remembrances from survivors of the Titanic disaster were just the beginning of what would be a continuous stream of journalistic and artistic interpretations of the Titanic tragedy.

TITANIC: The Tragedy That Shook the World  looks at how the Titanic has been depicted in books, plays, Broadway musicals and films, from A Night to Remember to the upcoming release of James Cameron’s Titanic  in 3-D.

The final chapter, “At Rest,” features recent images of the ship in its final resting place at the bottom of the Atlantic, a remote memorial to a tragedy that somehow still feels entirely immediate.

Later this month, the 100th anniversary of one of history’s most tragic events will occur – the sinking of the Titanic – and the question often asked is: Could such a disaster happen again? The answer is not only “yes,” but it has happened many times since and will almost certainly happen again, says a Texas A&M University oceanographer.

Mahlon “Chuck” Kennicutt II, professor of oceanography who has conducted marine research for 30 years, says the Titanic has captured the public’s attention as few ships have ever done. The largest ship afloat at the time, the RMS Titanic sank in the North Atlantic on April 15, 1912 after hitting an iceberg on her maiden voyage from England to New York City.

The ship carried more than 2,200 people – over 1,300 passengers and about 900 crew. The sinking resulted in the deaths of 1,517 people and is etched in the history books as one of the worst maritime disasters ever.

“We remember the Titanic because of so many odd things associated with it: the ship was called ‘unsinkable’ and it carried many notable people on board, not only were many lives lost but many lives could have been saved if there had been more lifeboats, it ran into an iceberg in the open ocean, it was on its maiden voyage, and on and on,” says Kennicutt.

“It has captured the public’s imagination for decades and spawned dozens of books and films. But many other maritime disasters have occurred since it sank, but they did not garner nearly the attention that theTitanic did.”

The recent capsizing of the Italian cruise ship Costa Concordia (which carried more than 4,200 passengers and crew) resulted in 30 deaths and has captured worldwide attention, but since the Titanic,there have been numerous other ship tragedies.

He notes that in 1987 in the Philippines, the passenger ferry Dona Paz collided with an oil tanker, igniting more than 8,000 barrels of petroleum products. More than 4,300 people died and later it was shown that the ferry had far exceeded its passenger and cargo limits.

In 2002, another ferry, the Le Joola capsized off the coast of Africa and killed more than 1,800, while in 2006 another ferry had mechanical trouble and coupled with high winds, sank in the Red Sea, killing more than 1,000 people. One highly publicized disaster occurred in 1994 when the cruise-ferry Estonia had faulty locks and it sank in the Baltic Sea, killing 852. There are dozens of other examples.

“The Titanic was the most technologically advanced ship at the time, with the latest in navigation and radio equipment. It even had its own newspaper,” Kennicutt says.

“But as so often the case, sometimes it’s just not enough, especially when humans are involved. There is no such thing as a 100 percent safe or ‘unsinkable’ ship as we learn time and again. The space shuttle, for example, was the most complex machine ever built, with 2.5 million moving parts, but suffered two catastrophic failures ending in tragedy,” pointing to the 1986 Challenger and 2003 Columbia disasters.

Kennicutt says one reason there are bound to be future maritime disasters is the sheer number of ships in the water. It’s been estimated there are about four million commercial fishing vessels in the water at any given moment, not to mention the tens of thousands of military ships, oil tankers, cruise liners and pleasure craft.

“The Gulf of Mexico is a good example,” he points out.

“It has thousands of shrimp and fishing boats, recreational craft, commercial shipping lanes and don’t forget the nearly 4,000 oil and gas platforms that have supply ships constantly departing and arriving.

“The oceans have become a virtual interstate highway system multiplied many times over being critical to global commerce,” he adds. “With that many ships, accidents are bound to happen.

“Despite our best efforts and highly sophisticated technologies, human error is the one major unknown that is difficult to control as we tragically saw in the recent BP oil spill. No matter how advanced we make ships, they are still operated by people. Even highly trained and experienced ship captains make mistakes. As they say …’to err is human.’”

The descendant of a survivor of the Titanic will travel from England to America to share letters and photographs of her great-grandmother, who was a women’s rights advocate and journalist and wrote an account of her rescue.

As part of the centennial observance of the sinking of the Titanic, Rosemary Gillham of Hertfordshire, will visit Norwalk for an exhibit at Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum titled Epic Voyage: The Extraordinary Life of Titanic Survivor Helen Churchill Candee, and will bring her great-grandmother’s papers. The exhibit runs from April 25 to October 14,2012.

“My great-grandmother has always been an inspiration for me,” said Gillham. “She was 53 when she traveled on the Titanic, and that tragic evening was just one night in a long and very full life. She had already achieved a huge amount and went on to travel and write extensively.”

Candee was in Europe when a family crisis forced her to return to America aboard the Titanic on its inaugural voyage to New York, when it struck an iceberg on April 14, 1912, and sank, resulting in the death of 1,517 people.

She fractured her ankle as she boarded Lifeboat 6 with the ‘Unsinkable’ Molly Brown. Afterwards, she recuperated at Lockwood-Mathews Mansion, where she received get-well letters from friends, including First Lady Helen Taft. She was interviewed by the Washington Herald and wrote an account of her rescue for Collier’s Weekly.

Candee, who attended school in Norwalk and published her first book, How Women May Earn a Living, in 1900, wrote for National Geographic, Atlantic Monthly and the Ladies’ Home Journal. She was an organizer in the “Votes for Women” rally in Washington. She became one of the first interior decorators and worked for President Theodore Roosevelt.

During World War I, she volunteered with the Red Cross in Italy and continued to write. Her work, Angkor the Magnificent, is considered the first study of the Khmer temple.

To kick off the exhibit April 21, Dr. Stephen Coan, President and CEO of Sea Research Foundation, will talk about the legacy of the Titanic and be joined on video by ocean explorer Dr. Robert Ballard, who discovered the Titanic in 1985. Portions of Mystic Aquarium’s new exhibit, “Titanic – 12,450 Feet Below,” will be displayed at the Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum.

The hotly-anticipated miniseries from the mind of Julian Fellowes (‘Downton Abbey’) was expected to be one of the highlights of the centennial anniversary of the RMS Titanic’s sinking, however, a bloated cast, flawed set-up and overload of social commentary amounted to one massive disappointment.

‘Titanic’ is a 4-part miniseries which will document the experiences of various passengers aboard the infamous ship which sank on its maiden voyage on April 12 1912. The ship’s sinking has been depicted onscreen many times before, most successfully with the eponymous 1997 theatrical release grossing almost $2 billion, and soon to be re-released into cinemas in 3D. But this miniseries, penned by the same man who turned ‘Downton Abbey’ into a worldwide hit, does not seem likely to follow in the footsteps of Fellowes’ award-winning series.

For starters, there are too many characters. Plain and simple. Featuring 89 main characters in total, each episode will focus on a select group before ending with their efforts to escape from the sinking ship. Episode 4 will presumably tie all of the storylines together and then show which of the characters managed to survive.

Unfortunately, Fellowes has tried to do too much with too many characters, barely giving the audience a chance to learn their names or backstories before one is suddenly thrust onto the deck where hundreds of inter-changeable characters are running around, spewing out stock dialogue of  a dozen other disaster dramas.

Clearly trying to emulate the appeal of ‘Downton Abbey’, Fellowes depicts the servants and the first-class passengers, and every other group in between. However, unlike ‘Downton Abbey’, Fellowes does not have 7 episodes to tease out the nuances of their relationships, nor is there the opportunity to create compelling or surprising encounters between characters of different social status. Certainly, a variety of characters do interact in this first episode, but it is to no dramatic pay-off.

The most glaring and irritating aspect of the first episode is undoubtedly the inclusion of a social issue in every other line of dialogue. The very first scene, which lasted no more than 60 seconds, referenced: the judicial system, political protests, women’s right to vote, class bias, and even an allusion to homosexuality.

Moving beyond that, not an act break could go by without one nationality criticising another, with one American character awkwardly commenting, “I can’t see the English wanting to drop the class system anytime soon. It’s woven into their heritage.” Excuse me, but what was this character’s name? Who was he addressing?

Why should the audience care? The most laughable, and again awkward, piece of dialogue had to be when an upper-class American character told a man from an opposing political party that he could sit next to him – all while outside on the deck hundreds of passengers were clamouring onto lifeboats. It was ridiculous, and simply ineffective on any thematic level.

All in all, Fellowes is clearly eager to explore class, sex, politics, nationality, and countless other hot-topic issues. And who could blame him? The RMS Titanic was a melting pot of different cultures and classes, with the accounts of survivors offering up various threads for a story-teller to pursue in this type of series.

It must have been incredibly tempting to produce a big-budget series, guaranteed to be given a massive promotional push, scheduled in the exact same time-slot as ‘Downton Abbey’, and sure to attract interest from the U.S. and beyond. But all those lavish production values amount to nothing when you have bland characters, forced dialogue, predictable interactions, and an badly-executed premise made all the more frustrating by the possibilities for provocative storylines which it had to offer in the first place.

With three episodes still to go, one can only hope that things improve. If not, Fellowes won’t be worried. After all, ‘Downton Abbey’ isn’t going anywhere.

Northern Ireland’s capital city Belfast is about to be on the receiving end of a £150 million investment from Belfast City Council, to be carried out over the next three years. This comes just three months after the city hosted the MTV Europe Music Awards. Belfast’s new piece of good fortune is the result of the council agreed to investing into the improvement of the city’s facilities, appearance, community care and environmental state.

According to BBC News, the city’s economic development will be boosted thanks to a pledge of £34m by the council while approximately £29m will be targeted at maintaining and instigating community development initiatives. One third of this money is said to be coming from Europe, “but largely it’s rate-payers’ cash.”

It is thought to be a further commitment to advancing the city from its reputation of being a place of political unrest and civil disobedience, as fifty per cent of the proposed financing will be focused exclusively on renovating the Waterfront Hall, a popular concert and convention venue in the heart of the city. Councillor Robin Newton made the following statement:

We all know that we have come out of a period of turmoil, terrorism on the streets, bombs in the streets of Belfast. I suppose you look at it and say that we are to some extent learning from our colleagues in the Assembly of this initiative.

Residential communities have also been promised significant improvements, with renovation projects already planned for areas in the North and South of the city which have been subjected to extensive vandalism due to graffiti and abandoned homes which have not been kept up to code.

This revamp comes at a time during which Belfast has several high-profile events in the works, the first of which is the much-anticipated opening of The MAC (The Metropolitan Arts Centre) on April 22. This facility was again funded by the council, as well as by the Lottery Fund and the Department of Culture, Arts and Leisure, among others.

Joining this in April will be the Titanic Quarter, an area of the city that will be the centre of attention during the centennial commemoration of the ship’s fateful sinking in 1912. The Titanic Quarter was designed with the goal of being:

a high profile European waterfront development firmly rooted in the history and character of Belfast … [with] a range of investment opportunities including: over 7,500 apartments, 900,000 sq. m. of business, education, office and research and development floor space together with hotels, restaurants, cafes, bars and other leisure uses … Titanic Quarter is bringing new life to a part of the city that is rich in both history and potential … expected to create at least 25,000 new jobs over the next 15 years.

As for the latest financial investment in the city, it remains to be seen when exactly certain proposed initiatives will be put into place.

Oscar-winning actor George Clooney has a surprising relationship with the ill-fated RMS Titanic, as will be revealed in an upcoming documentary.

It has been said that Sarah Clooney, a distant relative from County Laois, was the person responsible for making the carpets which lined the ship, and that Clooney will learn more about her story when he makes a visit to Ireland later this in year. His familial link will be detailed in Gabriel Murray’s documentary “George Clooney’s Irish Roots — The Real Descendants”, a pun on his latest film release.

The Belfast Telegraph first reported on this story, explaining that:

Sarah Clooney worked in the carpet factory in Abbeyleix owned by Ivo de Vesci. She had originally come from Dunamaggin, Co Kilkenny but moved to Abbeyleix after her family were evicted from their land.

Sarah kept in contact with the famous actor’s aunt, Rosemary Clooney, and the pair shared correspondence over many years.

It is worth noting that several members of Clooney’s family have achieved notoriety in their own right. Aside from his aforementioned aunt who won both an Emmy and a Grammy award during her career, his father Nick Clooney has run for Congress while his cousin Miguel Ferrer has starred in such films as Robocop and Mulan.

As for Clooney’s Irish ancestors, the documentary, which is expected to finish production in the coming months, will provide further insight into those who have lived – and who still do – in Ireland. Alleged “parish records” have been discovered, in which full details of Clooney’s ancestry are noted, however, the exact extent of this information will not be revealed until Murray’s documentary airs later this year.

Incidentally, Clooney had told The Irish Examiner as recently as last October that he had plans of partaking in a bike tour across Ireland at some point in 2012, on the recommendation of U2 frontman Bono. Clooney said:

It’s finally happening … I ran into Bono here in Toronto, who was in town for the documentary about U2 and he’s as much of a bike nut as I am. He started telling me about lots of cool places I should check out, so I’ve committed to going there in April.

In the meantime, Clooney has plenty of professional business to keep him occupied as he attempts to win his second Oscar for Best Actor with the critically-acclaimed film The Descendants. Clooney has already won a Golden Globe and a Critic’s Choice Award this year for his role in the film as a man in the midst of his family’s collapse, and so it would seem fitting that he will dive right into his own personal family story once Hollywood’s 2012 awards season is at an end.

Beckoning visitors to “journey to new depths of discovery,” Sea Research Foundation, operator of Mystic Aquarium in Mystic, Connecticut, has announced a major new exhibit – ‘Titanic – 12,450 Feet Below’ – at Mystic Aquarium’s Ocean Exploration Center exhibit hall.

The exhibit, opening on April 12, marks the 100th anniversary of the maiden voyage and sinking of the celebrated ocean liner. It is the product of a collaboration between famed oceanographic explorer, Dr. Robert Ballard, president of Sea Research Foundation’s Institute for Exploration, who led the 1985 expedition that first located the sunken Titanic, and Tim Delaney, the former Walt Disney Imagineering designer and head of Tim J. Delaney Design.

The Ocean Exploration Center renovation and its inaugural ‘Titanic – 12,450 Feet Below’ exhibit are sponsored by United Technologies Corporation. Sea Research Foundation President & CEO, Dr. Stephen Coan, has called the project “a unique and important collaboration that will give people a chance to experience the Titanic through the eyes of the person who found her, someone recognized as one of the world’s greatest explorers, and through the imagination of a world-renowned exhibit designer.”

Tim Delaney described the exhibit as “a very different approach to the Titanic experience, one that taps directly into the excitement of exploration and discovery. We’ve created something that both adults and children will find thrilling, immersive, interactive, experiential, and memorable. ‘Titanic – 12,450 Feet Below’ takes you there.”

Bringing the legendary vessel’s timeless history to life, ‘Titanic – 12,450 Feet Below’ captivates minds with a glowing iceberg that is cold to the touch, a bi-level adventure area inspired by Titanic’s engine room, hands-on experiences that unfold Titanic‘s lingering mysteries, and modern deep-sea technology that led to the discovery.

“The Titanic sinking is, of course, one of the greatest dramas of the last century,” said Dr. Ballard. “Everything about her conception, construction, launch, passage, passengers, loss, and legend is fascinating. I believe that the excitement of discovery is transferrable and can inspire future generations of explorers and discoverers. That’s what ‘Titanic – 12,450 Feet Below’ is all about.”

The exhibit opens to the public on April 12 at Mystic Aquarium in Mystic, Connecticut.
