This is a drawing that I recently completed of the White Star liner RMS Oceanic. Due to a real lack of time in my personal life it took around 1 year to complete. This was drawn with pen and ink. My next plan is to draw the MV Britannic (the 1930's one), then maybe finally Titanic. I want to try and draw the Titanic sinking, but just need to figure how to make that look good in pen and ink. Sorry that this photo is very blue.
So, it's expressly stated by law that NO ONE should be allowed to take these artifacts. The company that was trying to take these artifacts, takes the artifacts anyway. They then try to excuse it as archiving while also actively selling the artifacts. They have wild publicity stunts while simultaneously mistreating artifacts. Then it's again made clear they have no right to be doing any of this and laws are finally put in place such as making the Titanic a Unesco world heritage site, it's put into place that they can only make money off of the artifacts by showcasing them in museums. So what do they do? They declare bankruptcy to get a loophole way to sell the artifacts into private collections never to be seen again.
Oh also they gave a survivor her late mother's jewelry just to yoink it back once she died because "We were only lending it to her 'for life'"
Girl…don’t…..
I thought some of you might appreciate seeing one of my favorite White Star Line artifacts.
This is a 12-inch section of the decorative ceiling cornice from the First Class Smoking Room aboard RMS Olympic. According to the certificate of authenticity, it was removed during Olympic’s scrapping and later installed in the former Crown Paints (originally White Star Line) building at Haltwhistle, Northumberland during the 1930s. It was salvaged again in 2021 when that building was demolished.
It’s one of the pieces in my collection that most directly connects to the craftsmanship of Harland & Wolff and the White Star Line.
The Titanic was built with advanced safety mechanisms for its time, but what dangers existed at sea then?
Apparently, icebergs were a new phenomenon at that time, so besides icebergs, what other dangers did ships face in the early 20th century?

Its been a long few months since i bought this and now its entering its final stages. If progress remains steady then i believe i can finish it this week.
Made and fitted all lifeboat boarding platforms for the Gantry Davits, fitted all her standard davits, completed stern deck and added railing around poop-deck area, fitted railings to lifeboat platforms and fitted most of the lifeboat cradles and boats.
Rage bait for me is definitely people believing the titanic was swapped with Olympic and it’s the Olympic that sank, with MANY evidence completely debunking this “theory” as a whole.
Here it is - just put the finishing touches on it tonight!

The titanic movie has both accurate and inaccurate yet iconic scenes in the movie. Which one primarily caught ur attention?
I’ve seen a lot of people mention that James Cameron’s level of detail and research was brilliant. But, I’ve also seen a lot of people say that he got a load of stuff wrong.
So what did he get wrong?
Here’s your place to rant.
So I watched the movies when I was like 12 so I might have missed something so correct me if I’m wrong. The titanic was a huge ship yet when it wrecked there was only one solid thing that was big enough to hold rose. There must have been other things that jack could have gotten onto…or did he choose to die?
I always wondered if it has something to do with the focus on certain social classes such as the absolute difference between first class luxury and the condition of 3rd class, before and during the sinking we can see. But is there a reason to why second class is not much talked about?
I just found out through my grandma that Henry Wilde is my great great Grandfather (my grandad Stanley Wilde’s grandad). I don’t know much about him or the life he lived before his final voyage on the Titanic, but I guess now I’ll be diving down a rabbit hole of information about him. It’s funny because I saw not long ago someone swooning over him on here saying how handsome he was 😂 and now knowing we’re related is quite strange.
I posted previously but wrote everything incorrectly so just wanted to correct my mistakes. His son George Wilde is my great grandad who had 6 children himself, one of them being my grandad Stanley 😅 My grandad has 4 children one deceased, and one being my Mother.
I’m finding out more as I go along but I would appreciate if anyone has any information on him that they could drop in the comments ☺️
