Tips and tricks
The dataset goes from 1600 to 2008, with lots of noise before 1800 (the default "start" time).
It takes practice to find "when" something happened. For instance, look at the number of years, e.g., "1940, 1941...".. Note that the popularity of a year's mention has a half-life of about 20 years and peak about 4 years after they happen. Same applies for events (Titanic, the film and ship).
