What have you seen on YouTube recently?

More of Sam's videos about The Titanic, The Lusitania, and The Britannic, Kathy.  He goes into minute detail and always has models of those ships to demonstrate what he is explaining.

For the Lusitania you're better off with Eric Sauder, who's been studying it for longer than Sam has been alive. He's dived on the wreck and is basically the go-to historian for it.

He's also a Gilbert & Sullivan fan.

An inordinate amount of skill..

I wanted to see what Sam said was the cause of The Britannic's demise.  I always thought the ship was torpedoed by a U-boat but I found out it had struck a mine.

Still, young Same narrated the history of The Britannic and its sister ships replete with model ships which he held up at the required times.  I hope he has interests other than sinking ships.

How do you know that Eric Sauder is a Gilbert & Sullivan fan?

How do you know that Eric Sauder is a Gilbert & Sullivan fan?

I knew him for years through the ocean liner forums. We communicated privately for years online and over the phone. Same with his brother Bill, who's a Titanic expert. They're both wonderful, down-to-earth people. I lost touch with both of them after we moved to Nevada with yet another email change and the disorganization and distraction of moving cross-country with three kids under age 5. And then Eric moved cross-country in the opposite direction.

I also learned from Eric that Gilbert & Sullivan fans are often referred to as Savoyards. I hadn't known that.

P.S. Today is the 107th anniversary of the Lusitania's sinking.

Mine says that, too.

I'm sure most people have already seen this, but I wanted to post it because I think it's just so great; it brought a big smile to my face. The scenes of the cheering crowds were so touching. And the segue into "We Will Rock You" was awesome, I thought.
