The Titanic Historical Society was founded by Edward Kamuda, and is one of the foremost experts on the great liner. Ever since he saw the 1953 movie by Clifton Webb and Barbara Stynwick (which I'll tell you about in a later post), he has been interested in it, writing to survivors. Once, when a survivor died, he had some artifacts which were thrown out by the landlord. So, he started the Titanic Historical Society which is dedicated to preserving the artifacts which passengers had. About 50 survivors he was able to contact, and now, there are none to our knowledge still alive. In the back of a store called Henry's Jewelry Store in Springfield, Illinois. Every quarter of the year, they release a magazine called the 'Titanic Commutator'. Here are links of about the Titanic Historical Society:

Titanic Survivor and Britannic Diver
Please be in prayer for Millvina Dean (top) the last living Titanic survivor. She has pneumonia and it's serious. She has been admitted to the hospital, and we all hope and pray that she makes a complete recovery. Also, pray for the family of Carl Spencer (bottom), a famed Britannic (sister ship to the Titanic) explorer that got an illness while diving called the bends. It comes from coming to the surface too fast, which causes the nitrogen bubbles to form in the his blood after coming up from water with some amount of pressure. He was airlifted to the hospital on shore but by the time he was airlifted, he was unconscious. He was pronounced dead on arrival. He was heading an expedition to film the exterior and interior of the wreck.
