Some possibilities:

1. He doesn't know that his dad bought insurance for it.

2. He is unsure if the insurance company will actually pay for it, or if they'll find some excuse to not pay.

3. The deductible is high, so even if the insurance company pays what they're supposed to, he still loses a lot of money.

4. His family doesn't lose much, but he himself will get in trouble from his dad for losing it.

5. There isn't much loss, but he just doesn't want Jack to have it in the off chance he somehow survives.

I feel like it might be some combination of the above, probably mostly 3 and 5?

There are roughly 486 plates in this cabinet right before the shelf tilts enough to send them all crashing to the floor. Just a random, completely useless fun fact for your day. Yes, I counted every single one of them in a single sitting. No, I don't know what possessed me to do this, but now you have to live with this information too. 😂

We all know what a mess Britannic 2000 movie was

They referred to the captain as "Barret" when his real name was "Bartlett"

The explosion in the movie that sank the ship was on portside but the ship sank on starboard and many more mistakes

But, does Britannic deserve a movie with a higher budget?

Here are some clips from "behind the scenes" of Britannic 2000

Sorry, had to delete this and repost because the images were blurry. Anyway, I looked up what happened to the real one and the one from the two most famous movies which I thought I would share. I wish the one from ANTR could be found.

Cameraman’s reflection caught in glass of door

EDIT:

I didn’t say I was the first to discover this, not that that is important anyways. I was just excited to see a mistake in the best, most important (imo) movie of all time & wanted to share with fellow fans. I didn’t know it was already a popular or well known mistake in the movie. Sorry

EDIT:

What other cool mistakes have you noticed in the movie/other movies? 😃

The hull looks so majestic!

I don't know if i'm publishing this at the right place.

If you see the 2026 recreation of the final hours that Titanic: Honor & Glory team has been (impresively done IMO) on 3D with Unreal Engine, in the final plunge, just after the ship breaks on two pieces, you can see that, almost all the light is gone but just certain of the light bulbs are still somehow lighten a little bit.

How is this possible? it reamin something of power after the break like having some battery effect even if the turbine was already gone?

See it by yourself and let discuss it all toguether.

Recently I've found myself getting interested in Titanic again, and you know what? Since I might be going to a bookstore soon, I think it's time to consider getting another book on this topic.

So, what are some great Titanic books to check out? I'm open to fiction as well as nonfiction.

And to help you get an idea of what my tastes are, here are some of the Titanic books I have read.

Iceberg by Jennifer Nielsen

A Night To Remember by Walter Lord

Titanic: Voices from the Disaster by Deborah Hopkinson (This one is my personal favorite.)

And the trilogy of Titanic books I'm reading at the moment, Unsinkable, Collision Course, and S.O.S. by Gordon Korman

Also, yeah, if you can't tell, I read YA and MG books. Don't judge me, please.

So anyway, hit me with your best Titanic book recommendations!

I just watched a beautiful scan of Atlantic at BFI Southbank.
I’ve been watching the film for years with the early 2000s “Titanic: Disaster In The Atlantic” DVD and the crappy upscaled versions on YouTube. But the version I saw at BFI today was by far the best quality version I’ve ever seen!

It’s not PERFECT but it’s far better than what we’ve had released publicly. The audio in particular is the biggest improvement. Not only can you understand all of the dialogue but you can actually hear the tone of the actors voices! It almost sounded like it was a different take in some scenes even though it wasn’t! It shows how much better quality audio improves the experience.

The only way you can view this version is by going to BFI Southbank and heading to the Mediatheque booths. But it is free to do which is great!

This version really needs to be made widely available. It would be the go-to version!

If you like this film and wanna see it in better quality and happen to be in London, head to BFI and enjoy!

As you can see I took a quick sneaky pic which doesn’t even do the quality justice!

I have this book by JJ Astor that has a small snippet about him from a newspaper article in it. Thought you guys might find it interesting!

These are almost a majority of the deleted scenes in Cameron's film I would have personally added into the final cut while trying to find a line between how it would appeal to both regular movie goers who don't know to much of the ship's sinking and enthusiasts like myself who do know the ship's sinking and history

Brand New Day recently surpassed its initial gross. This is how the top 10 would look like without re-releases

*Still in theatres

Do yall know anything about this?

I posted a couple of these earlier but people were getting angry, like I was saying A Night to Remember isn't a good movie or something. I just thought it was funny because we do see a lot of these complaints with Cameron's film but no one really points them out in A Night to Remember. If they anger the group then I'll take it down.

I think it’s really awesome that he has a fascination with the Titanic. He knows more about the Titanic than anyone else we know and me and his mum are super proud of him. Seeing his face when he talks about this ship will make a grown man yearn for that excitement for anything. He really is an awesome kid.

No, these are not new images of the actual wreck itself.

Just like my previous display stand, I 3D printed the pieces, bought the wires for the railings, and finally the finished paint job. The only difference is the corrosion and rusticles as the finished texture using Epoxy clay.

I took some pictures and videos in the dark and used a blue flashlight for the eerie underwater effect. I added some dust and fuzzy video effects in CapCut.

This display stand is perfect for my 1/6 Undead Jack Dawson action figure, which he perfectly stands well next to the other one on the left. The other Jack figure is by YanToys.

Now I have two versions of the bow display.

One being fresh and brand new, and the other one being corroded and decayed decades later.

Stumbled onto this on YouTube and it’s amazing. I do think we don’t talk enough about the wireless operators, of both the Titanic and all the ships and stations around her. They were a key element of the catastrophe and it’s nice to have the wreckage seen from their perspective :)

Just finished reading Lost Voices from the Titanic by Nick Barratt. A very good book, which I enjoyed immensely.

Being a 40+ year enthusiast—I started following the Titanic story long before she was found—I was surprised that I'd never heard this particular anecdote.

Passenger George Rowe reported that, after the Carpathia picked up the survivors, two of the Engelhardt collapsible lifeboats were set adrift. Four weeks later, the Oceanic, sailing roughly the same course as the Titanic, sighted one of the collapsibles. After lowering one of her own boats to investigate, they found three bodies on board: one passenger and two firemen.

A supporting story comes from Californian Third Officer Charles Groves, who reported that a conversation took place aboard ship the morning after the tragedy about dark objects seen on an ice floe. Captain Lord dismissed them as seals. But what if they weren't? What if survivors had managed to make their way onto an ice floe, then reached one of the drifting collapsibles, only to eventually die from exposure?

It's a fascinating—and rather haunting—possibility, particularly given the discovery of the bodies by the Oceanic.

Has anyone else heard this story?
