Live Tweeting the Titanic

This year marks the hundredth anniversary of the fateful voyage of the HMS Titanic, and different people are finding a variety of ways to mark the occasion. A British history publisher has taken it upon themselves to set up a Twitter feed (@TitanicRealTime) offering real-time updates on the ship and its travels, or, at least, real-time offset by 100 years. Current updates are from the shipyard, where interior decorating is still underway.
