This and That – Titanic Discovered!

| Posted on |

Greetings, Y’all! Thirty-three years ago, we were battening down the hatches, awaiting the arrival of Hurricane Elena. She made landfall on September 2 as a Category 3 hurricane, sashaying up Gulfport’s 25th Avenue with pounding wind and heavy rain.

Because the Coast had other things on its mind, we missed the announcement of one of the greatest discoveries since that of King Tut’s tomb in the 1920s: the discovery of the RMS Titanic on September 1, 1985! When the pictures of her boilers and such first appeared in our local fish wrapper, I was mesmerized! Was then…still am today!

Later Titanic-Loving Gaters!
