British historical drama film adaptation of Walter Lord's 1955 book, which tells last night's RMS Titanic. Adapted by Eric Ambler and directed by Roy Ward Baker, the film stars Kenneth More and features Michael Goodliffe, Laurence Naismith, Kenneth Griffith, David McCallum and Tucker McGuire. It was filmed in the UK and tells the story of the sinking, depicting major incidents and players in documentary-style fashion with great attention to detail. [3] The production team, overseen by producer William MacQuitty (who saw the original ship started), used the ship's projects to create authentic collections, while the fourth officer, Joseph Boxhall, and ex-Cunard Commodore Harry Grattidge worked as technical consultants for the film. Its budget of £600,000 (£14,120,882 adjusted for inflation [2019]) was exceptional and made it the most expensive film ever made in the UK by then. [4] The world premiere was at Odeon Leicester Square on Thursday, 3 July 1958. Titanic survivor Elizabeth Dowdell attended the American premiere in New York on Tuesday, December 16, 1958 [5] The film was a relative disappointment at the box office. [1] However, she received critical acclaim and won the 1959 Samuel Goldwyn International Award for the UK Golden Globe Awards.

  • “From My Balcony”
    1 “FROM MY BALCONY” By Helga Szmuk Translation of the original in Portuguese by Marcia Lizia Barry (USA) Oct, 2006 2 Introduction Many of my friends and my sons, have been for a long time, telling me to write my memories. I finally decided to take their advice. Why not? After all, they are very dear to me. I took my time though, trying to gather so many deeds of my crazy life of tribulation, which was not very easy considering I am in my 80's. As soon as I had finished the first couple of chapters, I asked them to correct my Portuguese errors. However, not one of them volunteered. Nevertheless, I understand. I know how tedious the work can be. My English students, or even my astronomer friends, often ask me to correct their English texts. It is pure suffering. I would rather write the articles all over again (which is handiwork) than correct what is completely wrong. The same applies to my Portuguese; someone else would have to re-write my texts I am sure. My great new friend, Bob Sharp, never told me I should write my memories. Then I sent him a few pages to read and see what he thought of it. Being a Journalist, writing and analyzing texts is what he does every day. He made the corrections in record time and offered to work on the entire book. We met in strange circunstances and at the same time humorous. I wrote to the Newspaper, more specifically to the Department in charge of taking readers' complaints, about the terrible habit of smoking in public places, like Shopping Malls.

Hare) Next (RNA) The RMS Titanic, a British Olympic class ocean liner, became famous as the largest ocean liner built in her day and infamous for sinking on her maiden voyage, in 1912. This event ranks as one of the worst peacetime maritime disasters in history. On the night of April 14, at 11:40 p.m., the ship struck an iceberg and sank in just under three hours with the loss of approximately 1500 lives. There are many descriptions of the disaster by the surviving passengers and crew and the sinking has been the subject of numerous investigations. The sinking of the RMS Titanic was a factor that influenced later maritime practices, ship design, and the seafaring culture.

  • “R.M.S. Titanic” Hanson W
    “R.M.S. Titanic” Hanson W. Baldwin I The White Star liner Titanic, largest ship the world had ever known, sailed from Southampton on her maiden voyage to New York on April 10, 1912. The paint on her strakes was fair and bright; she was fresh from Harland and Wolff’s Belfast yards, strong in the strength of her forty-six thousand tons of steel, bent, hammered, shaped, and riveted through the three years of her slow birth. There was little fuss and fanfare at her sailing; her sister ship, the Olympic—slightly smaller than the Titanic— had been in service for some months and to her had gone the thunder of the cheers. But the Titanic needed no whistling steamers or shouting crowds to call attention to her superlative qualities. Her bulk dwarfed the ships near her as longshoremen singled up her mooring lines and cast off the turns of heavy rope from the dock bollards. She was not only the largest ship afloat, but was believed to be the safest. Carlisle, her builder, had given her double bottoms and had divided her hull into sixteen watertight compartments, which made her, men thought, unsinkable. She had been built to be and had been described as a gigantic lifeboat. Her designers’ dreams of a triple-screw giant, a luxurious, floating hotel, which could speed to New York at twenty-three knots, had been carefully translated from blueprints and mold loft lines at the Belfast yards into a living reality. The Titanic’s sailing from Southampton, though quiet, was not wholly uneventful.

Another shipping line had the fastest ships which traveled at 25-26 knots per hour. They were known for their luxury, but the Titanic was going to take luxury to a new level. The R.M.S.
