I keep trying to remember how I first got started being a "Titanic Addict" and cannot pinpoint the exact thing. I think I saw an ad in a newspaper for Titanic coal? Not sure. Anyway when I first got online I was hooked, when I saw the amount of information that was out there. Our local library did not have many books at all on the subject and the malls/stores in the area had next to nothing.

So getting online got my collection going and I still get on Ebay and other sites to buy and research things. I absolutely love it.

For me it started when I was a pre-teen. I was a total geek (Actually I still am) and loved to watch discovery channel and what not. One day, a documentary about the Titanic was on, and that got me interested. So, I did a little research and was majorly hooked, and ever since then I've been collecting things. My step dad had a lot to with it because whenever he went to a book store or something he'd buy me anything he saw dealing with Titanic. I have 3 books now, but I had a lot more...I think I lost them when I moved over the summer. I also had 2 peices of Titanic coal and a newspaper copy from the time. Along with copies of their distress calls and pics of the rescue the Carpathia made...it was very cool. I had a packet of copies of documents made during the investigation....but...I think I also lost that in the move because I cannot find it anywhere. But that's how I got my start! :D

I was 5. I went to a freinds house, he was in the middle of building a model of the Titanic. He told me the ship sank and a lot of people died. From then on I was hooked. The movie exploded in a few years later and I bought everything Titanic-related available.

[quote:33b86bb652="JimmyV"]How did everyone come to be interested in the Titanic? For me it was when I was 7 and seen Ghostbusters 2 :) . After seeing the movie I was interested as to what that big ship was. A week or so later I seen the childrens book written by Ballard in a mail order catalog at school and it was all down hill from there :)[/quote:33b86bb652]

I think I was in 2nd grade when I first heard about the Titanic, and loved it ever since.

When I was in Girl Scout camp, they had this song, "It Was Sad When the Great Ship Went Down" that gort my interest because it was a bouncy little tune, but it was about this awful shipwreck. Then when Bob Ballard actually [i:e36803dd97]found[/i:e36803dd97] the thing, that's when it really took off for me.

I'm from a sailing family so was brought up on the lore of the sea. Having actually seen boat sinkings when I was little (and was even pulled from the sea after being lost overboard for a day in a storm when I was 13), I was always enamoured by sunken ships and the 'underwater world' and longed to be a shipwreck diver (which I ultimately became).

My older brother read 'Night to Remember' when we were kids and told me all about it (very tender age then). I was totally fascinated by all that opulence just crashing to the sea floor and of man's hubris put to ruin. To me Titanic became the ultimate shipwreck!
From there the study and the research has taken a life of it's own.

What else can I say?

I vividly remember the first time I became interested in Titanic was when I was in the 4th grade, back in 1993. We had a substitute teacher that day and one of my friends picked up a book on the ship. I can't remember the name, but I remember it had absolutely beautiful illustrations by Ken Marschall. My friend asked the teacher what Titanic was and she told us the story of it. I was absolutely rivited. From that moment on, the tragic story has captivated me.
