Titanic Obsession

As of next month, 98 years will have passed since the sinking of the Unsinkable, the greatest ship man's hubris ever inspired: the Titanic.


In honor, memoriam, and fascination with the tragedy, I will feature a series of posts about modern-day treatment of the Titanic. This includes books, movies, and such. It will not be comprehensive, but it will be what I've been thinking about. Fifteen-hundred people drowned in the ice fields of the Atlantic, and our culture has been reinterpreting the tragedy for a century.

Mankind is fascinated with disaster. We know it. And this week, I will embrace it.
