You might be wondering why you get occasional 1912 Titanic tidbits that rapidly vanish. The reason is I'm testing the posts for my April "Real-time Titanic" recreation. So far up to April 26th and all's well.

If you're in the UK and worried about this age verification business, don't be. I had my face scanned and verified in about a minute. The image was then deleted from their servers.
