They had phonographs on the Titanic.

And I'm pretty sure they have found one or two rusted horns down there in the deep.

Wolfe, that is cool. I'm about to start googling to see what I can find.

I'm sort of a Titanic junkie also and I agree with Wolfe that they must have had them however I've never seen any pictures, read anything that confirms it.

They seem to be building a replica Titanic II for ocean cruises. To be finished in 2016. Would be cool if they would really use period style interior decorations etc. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titanic_II
I wonder how expensive tickets will be...

Well maybe fairly bizarre but I have to say I like it. I find it interesting too how the sad story of Titanic ranks right up there with the prodigious train wreck songs (which they probably could relate to more) in early country and folk, "Wreck of the 97, Wreck of the 1256" etcetera.
