The Titanic Museum in Belfast is hands down one of the best museums I have ever visited. It is located at the very place where the Titanic was designed, built, and launched. Original artifacts include a life vest and the world-famous violin belonging to the ship's hero musician, Wallace Harley, who continued playing while the ship sank to prevent a mass panic.

TITANIC; SUPERSTARS AND SCAPEGOATS BOOK. JAMES MOODY...

"All of the horrors at sea seem to happen at night..."

James Paul Moody wrote those fateful words in a letter to his sister, just a few years before his appointment as Sixth Officer of the RMS Titanic.

Scarborough born James was just twenty- four years old at the time of the Titanic disaster. As a junior officer, he should by rights have left in one of the lifeboats to oversee the small, quietly bobbing armada as it evacuated the sagging ship.

Being all too conscious of just how few, trained seamen were left on board the fatally compromised Titanic, Moody instead stayed behind, labouring manically at the boats in a brave, doomed attempt to save every last life on board.

James Moody was last seen by surviving Second Officer, Charles Lightoller. He describes seeing Moody on the roof of the officer's quarters, attempting to cut the ropes on a brace of collapsible lifeboats that were kept in place there.

His body was never recovered. James Moody's sacrifice was needless and noble in the same, searingly poignant instance.

After writing my book, I gradually came to understand that the chapter on this incredibly selfless and heroic young man had affected me by far the deepest of them all...

May 31st, 1911 Belfast, Ireland. . With the firing of a rocket and the pulling of a switch thousands of onlookers held their breath. It seemed inconceivable that this massive vessel could move. She sat on her keel for what seemed like an eternity until, finally, the inconceivable happened. As the hydraulic rams gave her a slight, but gentle push, the R.M.S TITANIC slipped down from the place of her berth and into the river Lagan. There was no great fanfare as she was launched. No great fireworks display, speeches, or even the traditional bottle of champagne. A yard-worker famously said "They just builds em and shoves em in!" . And shove her in they did.... . Aided by 22 tons of soap, tallow, and oil the Titanic slipped gracefully into the oily waters of the Belfast, river lagen amid the cheers of thousands. . Within 62 seconds the Titanic sat afloat on her own for the first time since construction began 3 years earlier. . And as a young William McQuitty watched her from the bank, the world could little know the future ahead.....nor could they care..... for the longest, tallest, and soon-to-be most beautiful ship the world had ever seen, was finally afloat. . The stage was set for her date with Destiny... . . . Her Night To Remember. . . . #thisdayinhistory #Titanic #Belfast #Ireland #History #titanicbelfast #slipway #anniversary #Storied #Treasures #storiedtreasures88 https://www.instagram.com/p/CeQGmdDuFGT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

TITANIC: THE TURKISH BATHS TODAY...

Twelve thousand feet down in the freezing darkness of the North Atlantic, the Turkish Baths in the wreck of the Titanic remain a stunningly bizarre blaze of brilliant colour.

The tiles on the walls retain their vivid, luminous blue and green backdrop. The details are as intricate, as delicate as the hieroglyphics in any ancient Egyptian tomb. And, for sure, Titanic is a temple of the deep. Eleven storeys of smashed, silent ruined splendour, sprawled across the sea bed like some kind of wrecked skyscraper.

Today, moonfish flit in and out of the place where Madeliene Astor once paused to chill out. The delicate, ornately detailed ceiling lamps are still in place, though the light they once cast has long since snuffed out.

Small, white deepwater crabs scuttle along the same alleyways where Maude Slocombe once strode with piles of perfectly primped, fluffy white towels. Those walls are as much of an echo as a vision these days. The tales they can still tell stagger the imagination.

The Turkish Baths are located deep down on F Deck, and were adjoined by a nearby swimming pool. In the world of 1912, both were open to men and women at separate hours. Admittance came via a ticket purchased from the Purser's Office on C Deck.

The debris that litters the floor of the Turkish Baths today is a torn, sundered mass of once opulent detritus. There were cushioned chaise lounges, delicately detailed Damascus tables, folding chairs, fashioned from teak, and heating blankets aplenty here. Designed to epitomise cool, timeless Moorish style ease and opulence, the central Cooling Room had the look- and the lure- of some exotic Turkish Hamman.

The small changing cubicles are still in place, but the screening curtains across them have long since surrendered to the ravages of time and tide. The solicitous stewards that once brought refreshments to the passengers here are just echoes, too...

TITANIC: SUPERSTARS AND SCAPEGOATS BOOK REVIEW...

'This book was amazing!!! Anthony Nicholas did a fabulous job, and once again, those who perished on the Titanic are brought to life through the pages of a book.

We learn about the crew, and their heroic efforts to save as many as possible, mistakes that were made, and the band that played as the ship slipped beneath the waves. It is in many ways a profound read that is going to take readers back in time, with a fascinating look at those on board, rather than the sinking of the vessel itself.

Highly recommend this book!'
