Lol. Thought the same thing.

Cameron also owed Browne for his photo of the ship’s Marconi Room, which he had taken when he was sending his clerical superior the Marconigram request to travel to New York. The photo was the only picture to be taken of the room – and in any Titanic films since, the Marconi room had been based it on Browne’s partially exposed photograph. Browne also took the last known photograph of Captain Edward Smith.

Steerage getting settled on deck
Passengers get settled on the steerage deck, which is usually the lowest decks on a ship.
That's what I always say.
“When anyone asks me how I can best describe my experience in nearly forty years at sea, I merely say, uneventful. Of course there have been winter gales, and storms and fog and the like. But in all my experience, I have never been in any accident of any sort worth speaking about. I have seen but one vessel in distress in all my years at sea. I never saw a wreck and never have been wrecked nor was I ever in any predicament that threatened to end in disaster of any sort.”
Worse than that, actually. It's impossible, and also ludicrous.
In this case the more accurate designation would be "19:26b"
Indeed it is.
James Cameron, in his movie 'Titanic', worked this photo into the action. This scene is recreated when (the fictional) Jack Dawson sneaks into First Class to see the (equally fictional) Rose. You'll see him clamber over the railing in the background, and swipe the coat that you see draped over the deck chair behind the stanchion.
As a Titanic buff of 40 years or so, I sat bolt upright at that point- I recognized it instantly. :-)
I was on your ping list, am I still?
No, you were one I lost. Thanks for the note.
Thanks for posting the pictures. They add a lot to the thread.
Same here!
That does not look like Capt. Smith. He also is not wearing the insignia he should be as Capt.
is there a particular edition or version of the publication of these photos you find better than the other?
None in particular. I had a copy of ‘Father Browne’s Titanic Album’, which I think I lost in a move. I have E.E. O’Donnells ‘Last Days of the Titanic’ here, (coffee table bargain book) that has some of them in it. I’m convinced though that I haven’t seen them all. I wouldn’t mind having something authoritative.
This thread prompted me to go off looking for them in particular, I ran across this:

They seem to have quite a collection. My copies of Fr. Browne’s Titanic photographs are scattered through my books on the subject at this point.
Designating the quote with a more precise reference from the man-made enumeration might clarify its location, but the impression would remain the meaning is: Try something with God and you will succeed.
Please keep me on the list.
When watching Titanic in 3D, I too remembered seeing a photo of a boy with a top in one of the Titanic books. Kudos to James Cameron for bringing us that moment. Now I have to investigate if that little boy survived.
I did a search. Six year old Master Robert Douglas Spedden survived the Titanic, along with both of his parents. Unfortunately he died three years later, at age nine, due to being struck by a car.
