Being a Seinfeld freak, I can't help but notice that you neglected the Andrea Dorea.

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.

I did my speech in Grade 8 on the Lusitania. I went pretty far too. I think the Titanic disaster was over-hyped.

^ 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.
