Being a Seinfeld freak, I can't help but notice that you neglected the Andrea Dorea.
"That was a hell of a fire"
"Ship"
"I remember it"
And it's the Lusitania - not Lithuania
the legend lives on from the Chippewa on down ...
is it true Nautical Disaster is about the sinking of the Bismarck?!?
*ducks*

The wreck of the Titanic probably spawned more songs than any other wreck. The Edmund Fitzgerald probably spawned the best song.
Yeah,
I was drunk as hell last night. Sorry about the lithuania thing. I'm giving a test on Upton Sinclair's the Jungle tomorrow to my students, and the family in the book is from lithuania.

TITANIC!!!!
I'm a Titanic expert, don't get me started!!
:jump :jump :jump
ps: I'm still a bit high from lack of meds
I did my speech in Grade 8 on the Lusitania. I went pretty far too. I think the Titanic disaster was over-hyped.

I did ALL of my speeches in college about the Titanic and I have done mulitmedia presentations for schools also. I always was fascinated with the ship and it all came to a head when I did those speeches around the time the movie came out and I have PLENTY of problems with the movie!

yeah I'm well aware of that movie. What does that have to do with real life nautical disasters?
^ If the disaster in Speed 2 was real, I want to change my vote. That was intense. Keanu Reeves really made me believe that he could stop that boat. Probably the greatest actor of our time, after Tempest Bledsoe.

lol, Reeves wasn't even in that movie, I SAID SPEED 2 BECAUSE IT HUFFED MASSIVE DONG! IT WAS A JOKE! BECAUSE THE MOVIE WAS A "DISASTER"! :roll:
