The Passengers on the Titanic

Near, far, wherever you are, the passengers on the Titanic will live on, thanks to the Titanic memorabilia and Edwardian style jewelry that the passengers either carried on-board the Titanic ship or were personally wearing at the time.

I mean, how can anyone not forget the passengers on the Titanic, especially when you're face-to-face, with the recovered Jewelry some of the Titanic passengers were wearing on the night the Titanic sunk?

Antique Jewelry is loved for it's sentimental value, but the special meaning behind this famous collection of Titanic jewelry goes way beyond the sentimentality of any style of jewelry in the history of jewelry, to rival even the intimacy and sexually explicit meanings underlying some antique wedding rings.

And it's all thanks to the pioneering effort and determination of Robert D. Ballard, who made the world's most famous underwater discovery with the help of the mighty little submersible, Alvin, the Navy's most trusted workhorse of the deep.

Since that fateful morning on the 15th April 1912, when the Titanic sank, controversy has surrounded the legendary RMS Titanic. From the actual Titanic sinking itself, the artifacts and jewelry on-board worn by the passengers on the Titanic, to controversy and debate over the actual recovery process itself.

But what are the true Titanic facts?

Trying to unravel titanic facts from titanic fiction isn't easy, but one things clear - the Titanic jewelry, formerly belonging to the passengers on the Titanic, recovered from the debris area around the Titanic shipwreck, still echoes the romance of Edwardian Jewelry and is possibly The most poignant and most haunting famous collection of jewelry on exhibit.

In the dark, silent shadows of the ocean graveyard to eventually dissipate and succumb like the rest of the shipwreck eventually will, to bacteria as it eats it's way through everything.

Like everyone, I was spell-bound watching the Titanic movie on my PC. My Mum still cries every time she hears the Titanic Love Theme Song - "My Heart Will Go On". There is no way you can listen to that song just once and let it go at that. I don't believe it's just the lyrics, it's the cadence and the chords and Celine Dion's voice and singing style couldn't fit the tune better. Anyone else singing that song could not achieve the same feeling and its effects upon the audience. BUT ....

....do you remember that part in the Titanic movie, about the fictional "Heart-of-the-Ocean" diamond? You can't forget that famous blue diamond either, right?

It was that large blue diamond pendant, given to Rose, the part played by Kate Winslet, one of the most famous actresses in Hollywood cinema, by her arrogant but filthy rich fiance, Caledon?

I think the Heart-of- the-Ocean diamond in the Titanic movie was symbolic of the famous Hope Diamond, The Hope Diamond also brought tragedy to its owners.

Anyway, when the Titanic ship sinks, the blue diamond is thought to be in the purser's safe, when in reality, (in the Titanic movie) Rose had tucked it away in her pocket and manages somehow to save it, secretly holding on to the diamond and the memory for all those years.

No wonder divers fail to find it when the Titanic is re-discovered.

Finally after a lifetime, Rose consigns the famous blue diamond to the deep - to rest at last, near her true love. The now aged Rose drops the "Heart-of-the-Ocean" diamond over the bow of the ship, into the heart of the ocean at the exact site of the Titanic sinking.

Ever since I saw that part in the Titanic movie, the scene of Rose dropping the "Heart-of-the-Ocean" diamond pendant into the sea, there's this big unanswered question that remains. I think the best way to ask the question is if you imagine you are Rose for one moment.....

If you were Rose would you or wouldn't you have dropped the pendant into the ocean?

I would really love to hear YOUR opinions on this and I know for a fact that other visitors would love to know what you think too.
