because of tensions between Germa-
ny and England (the Titanic was an
English liner), the Titanic radioed
back, "You fool, keep away." Una-
ware of the Titanic's tragedy, on the
same day, the chief steward on an-
other German ship, the Prinz Adel-
bert, photographed an iceberg with a
great red scar along its base. The Ti-
tanic's hull was red.
"In it's brief existence, the Ti-
tanic touched the history of many
ships," says Haas. "It's history is a
single thread in a whole trans-Atlan-
tic fabric."
Both Haas and DiSogra have
heard the tales of Titanic survivors
and each has his favorite story.
Haas tells of meeting a man
named Frank Aks from Virginia,
who was 10-months-old at the time
of the wreck. He was traveling third-
class with his mother. On the deck,
during evacuation, an officer barked
the rule of the sea, "women and chil-
dren first." A male passenger, ap-
pearently incensed at the thought of
perishing, screamed "I'll show you

women and children first" and
snatched Aks from his mother's
arms and threw him overboard.
The baby, however, landed in
the lap of a woman whose life boat
was being lowered to sea.

Oldest in New World
Divers studying a Basque whaling
ship believed to be the San Juan,
which sank in 1565 off the Labrador
coast, think they've found the oldest

board with her parents. Before the
voyage, however, her mother had a
premonition of doom. She keep in-
sisting it was somehow blasphemous
to call the Titanic nonsinkable. "It's
flying in the face of God," she told
her daughter. Hart's mother sur-
vived; her father drowned.
While the Titanic is a serious
subject, DiSogra, an audiologist,
stresses that deltiology, or collecting
post cards, is fun. "The excitement is
not knowing when or where you're
going to make a great find." DiSogra
also takes pleasure in attempting to
keep a poker-face while bartering
with dealers who are unaware they
possess a rare card. "The guy will
say $8, and I'm thinking, 'My God,
it's worth $40.' You want to say,
'Here's $10, keep the change, you've
just saved me $30.'"
