Thanks for the link. I have always been intrigued by the Titanic since in High School.

The replica Titanic debut will be pretty cool to see I bet.

We all know the story ... the lookouts in the crow's nest are distracted by watching Jack and Rose frolic on the deck and then the ship hits the 'berg and sinks ...

It cost about $7.5 million to build the Titanic, which would be $123 million in today's dollars. White Star had a $5 million insurance policy on the  ship that was collected after its sinking. The White Star Line fought over $16 million in lawsuits, eventually settling them for $664,000. White Star Lines eventually was bought out by Cunard Lines during the Great Depression and all White Star assets were liquidated. Eventually Cunard would be taken over by Carnival Corporation, which exists to this day.

By contrast, Titanic the movie cost $200 million to make and grossed $2.19 billion.

This is interesting and creepy at the same time.  Rodney James Alcala appeared on The Dating Game in 1978. Alcala was sentenced to death for five murders between 1977 and 1979. As recently as 2013, Alcala pled guilty to two additional murders in New York City in the early 1970s. His true victim count remains unknown.
