Title: Interested in the Titanic?
Post by: Neil Davies on October 04, 2010, 12:00:10 pm
Then you should be watching Titanic: The Mission on Channel 4 on Monday nights. As the blurb on the website says, "Four modern day engineers attempt to rebuild sections of the Titanic, using the tools and techniques of the early twentieth century" :)
Tonight's episode is based on the ships anchor, which was made in Netherton, just a mile or so up the road from where I work, so I'm expecting to see plenty of places I know! :D I've worked with one of the four guys on the show, Luke Perry, on a local monument designed by one of my classes, so I was quite surprised to see him on TV last week! :o :D
Well worth watching - it's nice to see a primetime TV slot featuring engineering!
