Maiden Voyage

I suppose it must be a first to see the good ship Titan slip off the lines and into the water on a voyage into the unknown. I had a dream last night in which the crew list was published and I looked up and saw the mug shots and realised that it was good and fitting that the people there remained the people there. The theme seems to be one of consistency with existing policy. That kind of thing has benefits. Nominating a small slate with clear plusses and minuses helps the board make its decisions and takes the pressure off the nominator too. The maiden voyage was not unexpected. I am all in favour of the spectacle.

Yes, we all know of that story; it is part of Titanic lore. But it is only a story, an imaginary wreck. The Titanic was a real sinking... heh heh...
