Bits O' Titanic: Best Book-- Belfast Tourist Bump-- Titanic II

Just Some Stuff of Interest.


1. BEST BOOK--  Dozens of books and magazines out about the ship, but the top-selling one continues to be Walter Lord's 1955 "A Night to Remember."  It is at #16 on the USA Today's Best-Selling Books List.  I still can't find mine.  Walter must have it.

2.  BELFAST TOURIST BUMP--  Belfast, Northern Ireland was voted one of National Geographic Traveler Magazine's top destinations for 2012 mostly because of its Titanic connection.


3.  TITANIC II--  Australian mining billionaire Clive Palmer is planning to build a liner to the Titanic's exact dimensions in China, hoping for a maiden voyage from England to New York in late 2016.  I imagine it will also look like the original as well.  Of course, it will be ultra-modern and luxurious.  I'm sure I could not afford to go on it.
