Here’s a pretty novel use of Twitter: follow the Titanic on its voyage towards impending doom – by following @TitanicRealTime. This account seems to be owned by The History Press, a UK-based history publisher.
Some samples:
#officer Clocks keeping bridge time now set back to 11.3p.m. This has extended the third watch by 29 minutes.
#passenger Standing at the front of the ship all I can see ahead is a horizon of water. I look forward to seeing New York.
So yeah, I’m following @TitanicRealTime - at least until 15 April… =)
