For most, their memory was still clear and the details they shared are described in the book. $1.99 on Amazon and worthwhile reading for anyone interested. I interviewed Mr. Lord in 1992 in his Park Avenue co-op for the 80th anniversary of the sinking. I picked this book up at the library today, crazy timing! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cherish my first edition copy that Mr. Lord signed for me. It was my favorite book in 7th grade. After Dr. Ballard discovered the wreck Walter Lord wrote a second updated version of the book based on evidence found by the dive team. It is called The Night Lives On and clears up many details e.g. Jack Thayer was correct when he said he saw the ship break apart in two just after the third funnel and the bow and stern went down separately. Sadly, the tragedy continues to this day. Superstitions ran high among some of the survivors interviewed by Mr. Lord.

I located the book at a library in the area and asked that I be able to pick it up at the library I frequent. It just became available today. It says “Copyright 1955 by Walter Lord.” Someone has written in ink “1998?” above the Copyright date. Why would someone do that? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea. I was taught never to write on a library book and not to fold down the corner of a page but to use a bookmark. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly because the James Cameron movie "Titanic" was released December 19, 1997 and the person saw it in 1998 and was being a jerk by writing it in a book. I grew up not hurting library books as well. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew B 58 Posted June 24, 2023 #3641 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Hey, Saint Greg! I just booked the Venezia for 11/30. Can you tell me if there is a bar onboard that makes a particularly good Bloody Mary? I was spoiled on Panorama with the bm (?) from the Pig & Anchor bar… 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t even know which bar to get one from. Bloody Mary doesn’t seem like an Amari, a Frizzante, a Rococo, or a Serenity bar drink. What does that leave? The atrium, the Burano and the Gondola bars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I would say the only bar that doesn’t make them might be frizante. Maybe not Amari but I feel like I saw the bloody Mary mix out there once. Every other bar is just a regular bar. Rococo is just a regular pool bar with some frozen drink machines that barely got used when I was there. Definitely had a couple afternoon ones from Burano.

sanmarcosman Posted June 24, 2023 #3647 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Do you know the Warwick NYC has a sister property in Dallas? Same owner who lives in Paris but born in Hong Kong. The Dallas property is the second to the last he purchased in the U.S. with Chicago being the last. Seattle opened in 1981. https://www.warwickhotels.com/warwick-melrose-dallas/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=local&utm_campaign=seo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
