«…the ballet entitled The Last Chinaman From the #Titanic portrays the six Chinese men who survived the sinking in 1912.
One man, Fang Lang, was found clutching a floating door, likely inspiration for the movie scene starring Leo DiCaprio & Kate Winslet.
However, when the six reached #EllisIsland, they were barred from entering the US & denied medical care… »
Detained Chinese immigrants carved their anguish into a wall a century ago. The words inspired a #ballet

Read the alt texts of the photos above about the #yarn's history. Here you can learn more about the history of this "more glossy than silk" patent: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayon
This #emboidery #floss was a hype since 1905/1910 ... and we can imagine that some of the governesses who had the misfortune to be on board, used it for #embroideries in the luxury rooms of the #Titanic.
#OTD the #Titanic sank in 1912. When I was a very small child, I knew an old woman who narrowly escaped this disaster. As the governess of a US millionaire's children, she was supposed to be travelling on the Titanic. They arrived too late in England and couldn't get tickets.
Shortly before her death, she gave me some old #yarn. I haven't dared to use it to this day because it's like travelling back in #deepTime. 113 years can feel so near.
Released last Friday, a digital reconstruction of the Titanic chronicles a never-before-seen view of the wreck that is “accurate to the rivet,” a statement says.

Titanic's Legacy: Our Favorite Reads
Underwater robots took more than 700,000 images of the wreck of the Titanic, 2.36 miles (3.8km) below the surface of the Atlantic, to create a full-sized digital scan. Analysts have now studied this scan to determine a little more about what happened in the vessel's final hours. It's helped them understand the scene in detail, confirming contemporary accounts of how long engineers stayed in the boiler room to keep the ship's lights on, theorizing how a porthole window may have been broken, and getting more insights into exactly how the ship sank. "Titanic is the last surviving eyewitness to the disaster, and she still has stories to tell," Parks Stephenson, a Titanic analyst, said to @BBCNews. More details of the analysis will be shared in a National Geographic documentary, "Titanic: The Digital Resurrection," which comes out on April 11.
Imagine if Elon Musk and his billionaire friends were on the Titanic. They'd probably be the ones pushing, while shouting, 'Move faster, you're not thinking big enough!'

„„Titanic ist sich sicher, dass wir zu 100 Prozent gewinnen“, sagt Titanic-Redakteur Sebastian Maschuw der taz. Es tue ihm leid, dass der Ex-Finanzminister wieder keinen Erfolg feiern könne.“

Oh, and maybe, just maybe, her husband of many years might’ve liked to know she’d been hanging onto a $250 million necklace all that time? How about her granddaughter, who was caring for her? An early retirement fund, anyone?
The real villain of Titanic? Ready for it? Not Cal, not even the iceberg—it was Rose. Still love that movie, though. #titanic #movies #villain #funny
Yet, she held onto it for decades, on the off chance she’d end up at the wreck site again, just to chuck it into the ocean for no good reason… and croaks in his bed. Then goes and waltzes passed her husband in the afterlife to meet up with her 3-day fling!
Meanwhile, she conveniently leaves out the part where she let Jack—the “three-day love of her life”—freeze to death because she couldn’t scoot over a bit on the giant door. #titanic #movies #villain #funny
