My interest with Titanic actually began with the 1998 film. I had never had the chance to really study Titanic in school- all I knew was it was a ship that sank in like 1912 and a lot of people died. But I didn't know anything specific. Then I saw the film, and the scene where Rose has just come to the surface of the water and is looking for Jack, the camera pans up and shows everyone struggling in the water for miles around. That shot really got me. 1500 is a large number but that shot showed you exactly what 1500 looks like...I couldn't believe it. After the film, not only did I have a new favorite movie, but I began buying every Titanic book I could find. I like reading about it and learning new things. I am also kinda interested in the Britannic and the Lusitania but I have not read about them as much. Originally, I just searched different websites on Titanic for information, but then I saw this website and all the information on it. <img src="http://www.titanic.com/uploads/smil3dbd4d4e4c4f2.gif" alt="" />
