Titanic (2012)
“A lot has happened since that historic moment during the early morning hours of September 1, 1985, some good and some bad. Salvagers would begin picking over the site and a blockbuster movie would take the world by storm. But what I found most fascinating of all about our discovery was its impact on the people most closely associated with Titanic’s story: the people of Belfast and the Harland & Wolff employees who built her.
When I was first doing my research in the mid-1970s on where the Titan...ic might have come to rest at the bottom of the ocean, I contacted the marine manufacturing company Harland & Wolff and was surprised by their lack of enthusiasm to find her. They simply did not want to talk about the sinking; it was as if it never happened.

It seemed Titanic would never reenter their consciousness.MoreLess
