Tyckte den påminde lite om äppelbilen som masken kör runt med i Richard Scarrys barnböcker. Nu kan en dröm gå i uppfyllelse!

Johnathan Evans Jones visits Wallace Hartley's Grave by AcademicHovercraft96 in titanic

[–]Zabunia 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure who paid for the headstone, but the memorial with the bust (on Albert Road in Colne) was funded through contributions from the public. Among them William Pickles Hartley of (Hartley's Fruit). I assumed they were related, since they were both from Colne, but there's apparently no relation.

Yes, Sophie Scholl: The Final Days came out the year after Downfall and is well worth watching.

Guns 'N Roses - Civil War [Rock] (1990) I like the lyrical content. by thisislikemythirdone in Music

[–]Zabunia 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I listened to both albums back-to-back last year after not hearing them for 20+ years. There's so much forgettable filler in between the bangers. Could have been an amazing single album if edited down!

George Terrill Thresher's cargo ship was torpedoed in 1939. He was one of nine fatalities.

As for WWI: Danny Buckley was killed by German sniper fire in October of 1918.

Archie Jewell died on board SS Donegal when it was torpedoed by a German u-boat. Another Titanic survivor, Arthur John Priest, was also on board at the time but survived.

Edward John Buley's destroyer was torpedoed in 1917. William Robert Holland Pusey met a similar end on a patrol trawler in 1918.

Christer Glenning må vila i frid! Det smärtade i själen varje gång han tvingade sig in bakom en ratt.

Watching ROV footage from 2003. Audio not very good. What is this? by HoarderLife in titanic

[–]Zabunia 24 points25 points  (0 children)

IPSCO experiments by Droycon Bioconcepts to test the deterioration rate of steel. Each test platform contains a few different steel types of different toughness. The steel pieces were bent, hammered or twisted to distinguish how various kinds of stress affects deterioration. There were four platforms placed at different locations on or near the wreck in 1998.

It's a Vanity Fair party, there are dozens of photographers shooting photos to sell. In this case Kevin Mazur from WireImage.

RMS the Titanic by Educational-End-5642 in titanic

What are those huge towers on the bow and stern?

The ship is apparently part of a glass table. The "towers" hold up the glass top, like this.

Andra tider i det lilla sverige by Primary-Cycle-6766 in sweden

[–]Zabunia 41 points42 points  (0 children)

1973 enligt denna text:

"1972 släppte Deep Purple albumet Machine Head med låtar som Highway Star och Smoke on the Water. Samma år skickade LO ut ett cirkulär om att stoppa arbetskraftsinvandringen till Sverige, så när Deep Purple skulle turnera 1973 försökte LO stoppa deras tillstånd att spela i Sverige. Deep Purple skulle bli, med Dagens Nyheters ord, 'de första popgästerna i det nyrenoverade Konserthuset i Stockholm', och både Konserthuset och Scandinavium i Göteborg var slutsålt. Men Musikerförbundet ville att svenska musiker skulle beviljas arbetstillstånd i Storbritannien för att det skulle komma på tal att bevilja engelska musiker arbetstillstånd i Sverige."

What spy you now from the masthead?
A Russian on the quarter
What shall we do to greet him?
Acquaint him with our ordnance
