Titanic - Do we really need so much TV coverage



I may be having a grumble about this but it seems whichever channel you turn on recently there
is a program advertised about the Titanic.

I myself find the story fascinating and love to hear the accounts and see the memorabilia on offer
but I am sure that the TV channels could maybe not be offering so many documentaries as they
are all saying the same and showing the same.

On discovery channel on Sunday night there must of been at least 4 hours of viewing about the Titanic, so add that to every other channel showing something about the Titanic this week and there cant
be enough viewers to go around all these different programs.

I did record the program where James Cameron went underwater to see the wreckage as I thought
this would be something a little different and a change from all the other programs on offer, however I now have to find the time to fit in watching it....

Of course the news channels are all following the voyage on the Balmoral retracing the exact voyage
that the cruise ship took and for those on board I am sure that this is a voyage of a lifetime.

Unfortunately today we learned that due to the ill health of one of the passengers they have had to make a slight detour so lets hope the passenger is OK and that they can still reach their destination at the same time now.

One thing that did impress me though was the Belfast Titanic Museum which was shown on some
news channels a short while ago and now more cruise ships are visiting Belfast this is a museum that
I would find fascinating to look around.

Titanic artefacts on display at the O2 Arena in special Titanic Exhibition



For those of you who have a fasincation with the great Titanic or just an interest in maritime history this exhibition could be one for you.
Titanic the artefact exhibition is presented by RMS Titanic the restoration company.
Ninety-eight years after the world’s largest ship sank objects salvaged from   the debris will take pride of place in rooms recreated from the Titanic.
Visitors to the exhibition at the O2 will be able to walk through the rooms to  gain a unique insight into the grandeur of the tragic ship.
On arrival visitors will receive a replica boarding pass for the Titanic   before being taken through a chronological history of the ship.
The exhibition will include recreations of third class cabins, the cargo hold   and boiler room, the iceberg, and 14 never seen before artefacts.
This historic exhibition is running until the 1st May so plenty of time for all to experience what cruising used to be and witness some of the fabulous artefacts that have been found first hand.
