Letters From The Titanic

I just picked up the paper and see that two letters from Titanic passengers are to be auctioned off..i really do not see it..especially if the people did not make it..but I know there is a demand for mail from disasters etc;.

At Washington 2006 Expo I saw an exhibit that featured mail from such well know disasters as the Hindenburg explosion. It was interesting, but unsettleing at the same time.

Stamperdude..too bad we did not know each other at the time of Washington 2006...i have been to the New York Mega Shows..but when I looked down from an upper level at Washington 2006 I never saw such a humungous site in my life..i will never forget it...it was a rush rush 3 days in D.C. trying to see the sights and ride the metro and do the show...we went to the Memorial Day Concert on the Capitol lawn...that was an experience to remember as well !!

I have a picture taken from the top of the escalator before we headed down to the floor. We were there for a week and it was my 1st time to D.C., I can not wait to go back. I was able to attend 2 FD ceremonies, meet artist & stamp designers, see the Inverted Jenny block, Hawaii Missionaries, and the Blue Z Grill. We went to the Postal Musuem, The White House, The Capitol Building, Arlington Cemetary and so many other memorials and musuems. There is way too much to do and nearly not enough time to do it.

I know..i told my wife we would need a week to just see the sights..and the fact that it was Memorial Day Weekend with much shutdown for the parade etc: but the 2006 Washington show was the experience of a lifetime for a stamp collector..so glad I made the decison to go for it..my sister can go to Vegas or whatever every year...give us the Stamp Show !!

You are preaching to the choir. As for Vegas, when I part with my money I prefer to get someing in return for it. I am not much of a gambler, never even play scratch tickets.

The Titanic:



The mail room:
5 men, 3 from new york, 2 from britain.


Faux postcard (assumed propaganda for Titanic film)



The extraordinary talents of the Netherlands/Scot/Australian
songwriters "Vanda and young"
Tunes of Australian rock and roll royalty

It was night
A starry moonless sight
Out in the mid Atlantic
There sailed a ship of light
She was big This ship of luxury
Everything was peaceful
No safer place to be

And she sailed
Through the night
On her way
Down among the dead men
Down among the dead men
The band played
She sailed the virgin
She sailed the sea
Down among the dead men

Captain Smith
The master in command
A man with wealth of wisdom
A fine upstanding man
But the fog He didn't hear the calls
The ice mountain was waiting
For fifteen hundred souls

And she sailed
Through the night
On her way Down among the dead men
Down among the dead men
The band played
She sailed the virgin
She sailed the sea
Down among the dead men
Down among the dead men
And into history
