Auction price: 90,000 pounds. The key, with the tag "Crows Nest Telephone Titanic," opened the binoculars store but was not on the ship when it sailed from Southampton. That meant lookouts had to rely on the naked eye. You know what happened next. picked by hisidea 2 years ago 5 comments edit related share plime.com |

96 years ago, the Titanic was preparing for its maiden voyage. It was on April 14th, 1912, when the last meal was served in the first-class dining room. As we all know, later that night, the ship collided with an iceberg and sank... Here’s a detailed look at what was on the menu for the first-class passengers. picked by TheJehosephat 2 years ago 4 comments edit related share world |
Say you're an executive of a cruise company, the demand for cruises is growing rapidly and you want to increase the passenger capacity of your ships. What would you do? You can, of course, order new ships, but it takes 3 or more years to build them. How about something quicker? How about you take one of your huge 12-story ships, cut it in half at the middle and add a huge block of new rooms? picked by AutumnLotus 12 months ago 4 comments edit related share plime.com |

Although this amazing research vessel has been around for over 40 years, I am posting this for those who might not have had an opportunity to meet her! Additional info can be found HERE. picked by Phildo 3 years ago 0 comments edit related share science |
Gives size comparison for everything from 2001: A Space Odyssey's USS Discovery to a Heavy Cruiser from Babylon 5. TONS of Trekkie stuff, and neat even for non-nerds to peek at, as it includes real Earth space ships, like the State's shuttle. picked by deepchill 2 years ago 10 comments edit related share plime.com |

The cargo ship loaded with 1.8 million dollars worth of timber and a possible "mystery cargo" has been spotted 400 miles off the coast of Africa. It disappeared from communications two weeks ago after unconfirmed reports of a hijacking and stories of a "John LeCarre" worthy epic are now being speculated worldwide. picked by equinox 4 months ago 0 comments edit related share world |
