Last week marked the centennial of the historic sinking of the Titanic on its maiden voyage from Southampton, England, to New York. Here’s how the anniversary was commemorated:
The iceberg that sank the Titanic inducted into the International Iceberg Hall of Fame
1,000,000 people joined hands by the Southampton dock and pictured Kate Winslet naked
British newspapers honored the anniversary by breaking out their seldom-used 100-point headline font
Carnival Cruise Lines flashmob where passengers dressed in period costumes and fought over lifeboats
Day trips to the middle of the Atlantic to watch whatever ships happened to be sinking
Riverboat casinos offered guests $50 in free chips in exchange for going whole day without saying “sinking” or “Titanic“
The Anti-Iceberg League sponsored its annual Melt-a-Thon, encouraging everyone around the world to burn as much fossil fuel as possible
Watched that movie…what was it called?…the ship going down…right, Poseidon Adventure
Little get-together on a houseboat
