I have a terrible fear of shipwrecks. I can't overstate how much they bother me. I've had recurring dreams of shipwrecks since I was a child (often the Titanic itself). But I always watch new Titanic footage...I don't know why, it's just a compulsion at this point. Fascinating seeing so much footage of the Titanic in the best condition we've seen her in since her sinking. I hate it...but also, fascinating.

oh 100%. Shipwrecks are the worst for me, but anything human-made underwater does it for me.

How do you feel about trees and logs underwater? Those also freak me out tbh

How would you feel about being locked in a small closet of a state room or trapped in a small space between steel structures in the boiler room... while the Titanic sank.
