  • Fragments Against Ruin (Long Version)

    Fragments Against Ruin (Long Version)

    1 FRAGMENTS AGAINST RUIN Ian Walker My earliest Titanic memory is of a day in school sometime in the 1960s. We were all ushered into the assembly hall where a 16mm film projector had been set up and the heavy curtains were drawn so that only a few shafts of sunlight illuminated the rising dust. The film we watched that afternoon was A Night to Remember, the 1958 British movie about the Titanic disaster (the one with Kenneth More as Second Officer Lightoller). It is an oddly disorientating memory. This is not only due to the fact that we were watching the events of this chilly night unfold on a sunny day. Nor the irony that this school was sited near the point in the British Isles furthest from the sea (though apparently even in Birmingham the atmosphere on a windy day can carry sea water). It’s all that but it is also the odd status of the experience - was this entertainment or education? If this was indeed a history lesson, my post-postmodern fancy can now relish the fact that it took the form of a fiction. But then that’s pretty typical of the whole afterlife of the Titanic. In his book Down with the Old Canoe, a ‘cultural history of the Titanic Disaster’, Steven Biel charted the desire at various points over the last century for what we would now call ‘closure’. ’The Titanic disaster begs for resolution - and always resists it’, he concluded. Some have sought this resolution in researching every last fact about the event, others in diving to the bottom of the ocean to visit the wreck.

    Commemoration Or Profit? the Truth Behind Belfast's Titanic

    Kelsey Johnson Broad Field Social Science Major & History Minor Faculty Sponsor: Dr. Valerie Barske Commemoration or Profit? The Truth Behind Analysis Belfast’s Titanic Commemoration and The commemorations for the Titanic in Belfast have transformed into a Memorialization tourist attraction instead a way of remembering the men and women who lost their lives. Belfast has memorialized the Titanic in museums (Fig. 1). Abstract Although these museums “teach” about the Titanic, they also use these In this research project, I examine commemorations, media coverage, event and museums for profit. In Belfast, some museums profit through and commercial films related to the 1912 sinking of the Titanic in Belfast romanticized interpretations of what happened aboard Titanic, most widely Ireland. More specifically, I argue that museums in Belfast Ireland employ known through the film produced by James Cameron. This film has made dark tourism and romanticized media coverage to bring in tourism and people believe events that did not really happen on Titanic, including economic growth to Ireland. I examine the ways that multimedia, marketable objects such as “the heart of the ocean” jewel, which is now celebrations, and museums are used to obscure the commemoration sold throughout many museums around the world. Scholars have thus events in order to profit from the historic tragedy. My research highlights critiqued the ways in which museums profit from this tragedy. the commemoration of the centennial sinking and how these sites serve as a form of commercial profit for places such as Belfast Ireland. Museums also profit from marketing the real-life stories of survivors and victims of the Titanic event.

  • Will Titanic's Sunken Wreck Be Protected? Treasure Hunters Skeptical of New US, UK Agreement

    Will Titanic's Sunken Wreck Be Protected? Treasure Hunters Skeptical of New US, UK Agreement

    Will Titanic's sunken wreck be protected? Treasure hunters skeptical of new US, UK agreement By Christopher Carbone Published January 22, 2020 Fox News The sunken wreck of the Titanic will be protected under a new treaty agreed to by the United States and the United Kingdom. More than 100 years after the ill-fated ship sank to the bottom of the sea when it hit an iceberg, the formal agreement includes managing and safeguarding one of the world's most culturally significant sites. "This momentous agreement with the United States to preserve the wreck means it will be treated with the sensitivity and respect owed to the final resting place of more than 1,500 lives," said British Maritime Minister Nusrat Ghani in a statement announcing the news on Tuesday. "The UK will now work closely with other North Atlantic States to bring even more protection to the wreck of the Titanic." New images show the deterioration of the Titanic wreck. (Atlantic Productions) The Titanic hit an iceberg at 11:40 p.m. ship's time on April 14, 1912, and sank on its maiden voyage just over two hours later with the loss of all but 706 of the 2,223 people onboard, according to a Senate report released at the time. The Titanic incident led to the drawing up of the SOLAS (Safety of Lives at Sea) Convention in 1914, which sets the minimum safety standards by which ships are required to comply worldwide. "I am delighted that we are taking new steps to protect the Titanic, which played such a famous part in Belfast’s proud maritime history," Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, Rt Hon Julian Smith MP, said in a statement.
