Titanic - the BBC opens its archives

The BBC has given us all access to the archive material it has on the Titanic disaster. The site also features the spoken word of Commander CH Lightoller the most senior surviving officer of the sinking of the ship. Listening to his voice is quite spooky - he seems so calm about it. The BBC also describes how in 1947 a play to commemorate the sinking was almost not aired as several organisations tried to stop it going on the radio. It seems the great ship has not revealed all its secrets - yet.
