Cameron’s Titanic 10 Years Later

 Dec. 19, 2007, will mark the 10th anniversary of the James Cameron film “Titanic.”

Barb Shuttle, editor of Voyage, the journal of Titanic International Society, is asking for contributions for a retrospective on the movie. … how did the film affect you, and what effect did it have on your love of Titanic? (You do not have to be a member to respond, but of course the invitation to join is always open!)

She’d like to receive enough responses to make this a viable and interesting piece for Voyage. But that will depend on enough people sharing their thoughts. Whether it’s a paragraph or two, or a longer essay, jot down your thoughts and feelings about the movie “Titanic” and its impact and e-mail them to Barb at

bshuttle@aol.com .

Nov. 1 is the deadline for articles for the next issue, so think about this soon!
