hey, was I the only one mesmurized by the titanic special on discovery channel, wow, the turkish baths, and the teak chairs still intact. I wonder if they will discover a different pattern on the tile then that used in the olympic or the photo renderings. I wish they would have looked for the electric turkish bath, the one people were put in. I hope they go into the pool area. I love also how they found a fire place witht the clock still on top of the mantle. Any thoughts

I saw the show and it was very impressive. To see the Turkish Baths (and the famous decorative tiles) was fantastic. The swimming bath/pool was a very plain space in comparison to the Turkish Baths, but I also wondered why he did not send the camera into that area.
Past visits to Titanic by James Cameron have
been equally fantastic. He has explored 1st class cabins where the decorative metal bed frames look nearly new! In a few cabins, delicate water glasses were still in their holders next to wash basins-this after the 12,000 foot dive and crash into the sea bed at 20 plus knots! The carved wood on board in a few locations is another part of the wreck that amazes me. In some cases the beautifully carved details are still evident. IMO he will return before the ship starts to collapse in order to document all he can.

I too watched this great show. I thought the animated scenes of the Titanic being launched and the shipyard were incredible! And the shots of Titanic departing for her trials was very cool. Cameron also did an Imax movie in 3D that was very interesting...where you could feel like you were there...to see the wreck in 3D was amazing. You could really get a sense of the size of Titanic. It was am,azing to see the Turkish Bath and the first-class suites. I thought it was incredible how the clock above the fireplace remained??? It must have been bolted down.

They made a few mistakes w/the launch sequence. The computer animated ship had an partially enclosed promenade deck forward when in reality it was enclosed late in the fitting out stage. Also the builders model presented to J Bruce Ismay when the contract was signed was of Titanic and not Olumpic. (complete w/window alterations on Promenade and A deck that Olympic did not have).
