My hometown as some memorabilia from the Titanic and the Marie Museum has some artifacts. One of the nursing homes my wife has worked at over the years had a patient who was on the Titanic and survived. This is a sad story, and if this new information is true, is disturbing. But...... never let profit get n the way, right Riddick????
Marine Museum’s audio recording from Titanic survivor saved for posterity
FALL RIVER — To hear Marjorie Newell Robb’s account of the Titanic slipping into the ocean and of the little boats struggling to move away from the massive sinking ship, is a link to the historic tragedy and to life itself in 1912.
Robb’s delicate voice has been telling the story of how she and her sister survived the Titanic in a recording at the Marine Museum at Fall River for years.
The device, however, had become old and skipped here and there. With the volume turned up, it crackled and was sometimes incomprehensible, moving dangerously close to fading completely.
“It was one good power surge away from never existing,” said Steven Rys, Bristol Community College assistant director of Television Services and a videographer for Fall River Community Media.
“We didn’t have another copy,” said Marine Museum Executive Director Maria Vann.
Rys has restored the audio to much better quality for Marine Museum visitors, and has it backed up in more than one place for longevity.
“It’s just awesome to restore some of this history,” Rys said.

But there was this slight funky odor emanating from the top. We used foam $$$ for hour$ and hour$ as the maintenance personnel "finally" began cutting a hole in it's bottom! Why that shute for expelling hot coal was never in the blue prints for the plant's original design was very strange to see. 
So filled with delays prior to that "Maiden Voyage" it had to depart into history. In hindsight it should'a never left Belfast!
