Welcome - Introduction
On April 10th 2012 I will have the distinct honor of sailing with Maritime Historian and celebrated author Bill Miller, better known as "MR. OCEAN LINER" on the Azamara Journey to Halifax, NS and then to the final coordinates of the TITANIC on the 100th Anniversary of her sinking. Join me here for an ongoing narration of this historic event with first hand accounts of the voyage. Bill Miller will be presenting a series of dynamic talks and other distinguished guest include Ken Marschall who is recognized as the world’s foremost Titanic artist whose iconic images "have become part of Titanic’s history itself". Also on board will be Captain William S. Wright, Senior Vice President, Marine Operations Royal Caribbean International, John Langley, Chairman Cunard Steamship Society and others. I am told many relatives of TITANIC survivors and victims will also be sailing. In upcoming entries I will be including expanded profiles for all of the guest speakers, interviews, photos, and a personal diary as this event unfolds. Please feel free to check back, follow this blog, post to Facebook and re-post as this unknown chapter unfolds! Best, Robert Neal Marshall

thanks for sharing.....will check things out
ReplyDeleteBob, It's been a few years since Marc and I shared the awesome experience of being directly over the Wreck of the Titanic on the anniversary with both you and Bill. I wish we could also be joining you both on this journey. I've considered it a few times, but it isn't going to work out for us this year. I wonder, do either of you (or any of our friends) have an idea of how many ships will be "meeting" on that day in that vicinity? Seems rather akin to flying over the Statue of Liberty and New York Skyline on the 4th of July. Everyone else may have the same thought. How horrible it would be if...Well, I wish you both well, for a safe and successful journey. I will check back to see if you have an idea of "how large the crowd" will be.
