I read about that...the Captain's bathtub, which was so iconic, is now long gone. Hard to believe but inevitable, unfortunately.

Sad to hear. Still, I'd much rather that the Sea got to keep her in the end rather than her being defiled by grave-robbing salvage pirates.

Hmmm... come to think of it, Mirth is probably the one of the regular gang who is closest to the wreck site, not counting Centurion40 or Migmaster, that is...

Guess he gets first dibs.

It doesn't hold up well (I think Toonces was talking about that over at GH), but that one scene where they bring Titanic back into New York Harbor...that one scene alone is well worth the movie.
