I have been writing about the RMS Titanic on my blog, and I think it fits the pop culture theme I have, but I would like to write about the Olympic, Britannic, and other ships like the SS Edmund Fitzgerald and the RMS Empress of Ireland. But I thought it would work better in a separate blog. I won’t be posting a ton to it, but it will give me a place to write about them without disrupting the flow at powerpop.blog. If you are interested, come along, but I get it if you are not. That is why I’m making this blog. A release valve for me to explore this subject when I find something interesting. Thank you all for reading as always.

The Mary Celesta I’ve ehard of…and the Challenger Expedition…. I love the Britannic…it was taken by the military and made as a hospital…they released it and the White Star Line was putting the rooms back in and getting ready to run it with passengers and the army called it back…it was hit by a mine…that was laid earlier.

interesting….there’s a history of steam ships running up and down our west coast delivering the mail and other such things along with people because no roads and at the time no other way to get a lot of placed, which is why you ended up with places call Gibson’s landing, now. o steam ships, no reason for that word landing…

I will definitely be following your new blog, after all, I am an enthusiast of all sorts of machines. I noticed that you will keep it about civilian ships but you might like this post I wrote a couple years ago:

One more thing you might enjoy: a year ago I found this book: Great Stories of The Great Lakes, by Dwight Boyer and I totally recommend it.

I am as well…and it’s hard to express it on my pop culture site. I’m a baseball fan as well and I have my own baseball blog…I don’t want to bore people with things unrelated to pop culture…but I LOVE restoring and machines. I’m no good at it! But I love it.
I sure would like it! I’ve started to watch documentaries about the German ship Bismarck…I would like to cover that as well. thank you for the article….if you don’t mind…once and if I get a little more established…I would like to reblog it if you don’t mind.

I have a book on my “to read” list called “The History of the World in 12 Shipwrecks.” It goes way back before steamers, though.
