To think that the oldest living man alive (as of September 1st, 2024) was born after the Titanic disaster. Every man, whether a survivor or not, alive when the Titanic sank has passed away. Anyone who survived the Titanic would be 112 and one of the oldest people in the world. Even if there was miraculously a survivor alive today, chances are we wouldn't have them for very long. With all that, it's amazing that we had a survivor alive as recently as 2009, 97 years after the disaster. Very few ship disasters had a survivor live on for that long afterwards.

Thank you, James, for this remembrance. Much appreciated (including your hard work and professionalim). As to the flaccid _ad hominem_ ruses in the comments: There are many other ways 'they' can view different aspects of this tragedy. I hope you are not put off by others' negativity and somewhat ignorance. All the best. Stay free, J. Rab 🍻 😎 🎲 ⏳ 🌠
@cate_abreu I was 11 when the 1997 movie came out. Pretty popular. The internet wasn't in your face ever hour you're awake like it is these days. As so the movie was the biggest talking point with friends in school. Being said all these more informative documenties and the like I've seen on the internet in more resant times give me more information then the movie. And wow you weren't quite born. I feel kida old despite the fact I'm really not all that much older than you.

@@TaijanDeanthere are only a few people who were alive when titanic sank. But I agree that they will be gone soon.
Imagine being a survivor and surpass 1985 and seen photos and the discovery of the titanic that will send shivers down your spine
