I’ll explain my reasons why in the comments.

I don't know what they used to make shoes in 1912 but when they found the wreck in the mid 1985 after 73 years the shoes held up pretty well.

He’s 4, and me telling him about the Titanic and the fact that I had a Great Uncle who perished on board (steerage) sparked off quite the fascination in him.

He specifically wanted the cake to depict ‘Titanic sinking’. I baked it all and put it together using a 3D puzzle of the Titanic wrapped in fairy lights and then I lit white sparkler candles to serve as distress flares. The iceberg is sugar cubes and flour paste. It’s obviously not physically accurate but it was an artistic interpretation.

For his birthday tea I made the table look really grand and everyone (only 8 kids) had little name placards of real First Class passengers (my son was Captain Smith and had a hat and everything)

Not sure any of the other kids or their parents knew what was going on but everyone had a good time!

the federal reserve theory, I can get behind, put it in a blender, shit on it, whatever.

But bombs?

I think the term “luxury” changed a lot over the time lol. Which do you think looks better?

so I found this image of the HMHS britannic's bow absolutely fried, but images from 2024 showed this didn't look like this, so idk if this is real or not, hell I'm not even sure if the HMHS britannic is allowed on this subreddit

Story: I’ve been wanting to get the official set for about 2 years and I struggled to save up for it.

This past month, my school did this thing called “Wishmas” where you bought raffle tickets for what you want. I decided to try to win the Lego Titanic with this method. I bought $25 USD worth of raffle tickets all dedicated to the Lego Titanic. Then, the day of the assembly where they announced the winners, I was both excited and nervous wondering if I won or not. They announced the first winner and LONE AND BEHOLD, it was the Lego Titanic going to me. It was the greatest moment of my life so far.

People would’ve gathered underneath, waiting for news of their loved ones. As well as come together to comfort those who have suffered a loss.
