And speaking of the Titanic debris field, this is my current favorite coffee cup:

I bought that cup years ago at a Titanic artifact exhibition then touring the country. It is a replica of a third class coffee or tea mug and bears the White Star Line logo. Supposedly it's modelled on a real one found on the ocean floor in the debris field. It's short and squat but holds almost as much as a regular coffee cup. Perfect for a double espresso. The cup is available here.
perhaps it still fascinates because they were just starting to figure out that what they say will happen...may not happen!
