100 years on...... will wecontinue to remember?

It is now 100 years since the loss of the Titanic, and over the last few weeks there have been a number of 'events' to commemorate the loss, various TV programs and a re-release of the film in 3D

But what else has there been?

At the moment, Fred Olsen's Balmoral is doing a special voyage to be at the point where Titanic sank at the same hour.

But what about Titanic's birthplace? Over my lifetime Belfast has been synonymous with 'Troubles' and as such not a place that would come up high on the list for a tourist attraction, well just opened to coincide with this anniversary is Titanic Belfast.

Something like this to me is a better way to commemorate the anniversary, it will benefit the community and future generations far more then a TV drama!

But why is it, with the exception of perhaps Pearl Harbor, that the Titanic is remembered so much?
