Harry's been on this wild tangent for three months and now it can be revealed. Our second secret of 1997 is our commemoration of the 85th anniversary of the maiden- and only voyage- of the Royal Mail Streamer (RMS) Titanic. That voyage took place on April 10-14, 1912, until she struck an iceberg for approximately 10 seconds. Less than three hours later at 2:20am on April 15, the great ship broke in two and sank in over 12,000 feet of water and took 1,523 lives with her.

Included in that number of human souls were eight musicians who played until near the end- played to steady the nerves and entertain any who could still hear. We salute all those who designed her, built her, finished her and sailed her. And in our tribute is our 1997 DW set. Like the Titanic before her, our set was painstakingly made by craftsman who hand finished every detail. With four toms across to represent the four mighty smokestacks of Titanic, our set is painted with a mixture of blue and green sparkles over black lacquer. This, we feel, represents both the sea water and the depth of it. Inside each shell is a sticker of authenticity. And on the front head, we have an artist's painting of the ship at full steam.

Surrounding the set are books, pictures and suggestive pieces from other ships. But we do have a piece of Titanic's coal, rescued from the sea bottom. Stop in and see it including the ship's clock which stopped at 2:20. Then prepare yourself for the most expensive movie ever made. It's due out in June and known as Titanic.

And when you think of the Titanic and the amazing story of her life, just remember your friends at the Drum Center, who are out now, trying to top themselves for next year's great scheme.
