The Titanic at 100.

The Titanic, NYPL.

This week, BBC Radio 4 Extra marks the centenary of the sinking of the Titanic with readings of Walter Lord's A Night to Remember; letters from those on the Titanic; and recollections of those in Belfast, where the ship was built. Episodes usually may be heard for up to a week after broadcast.

Others may be interested in this Boston Globe story on the Titanic in photos; today's event in DC near the location of the Titanic memorial (although it promotes the canard that the Titanic band played "Nearer, My God, to Thee"); and my short story "Unsinkable," which appears in Crime through Time II.
