The Titanic was one of a trio of similar White Star Line ships completed in the early nineteen-tens. In the video above, Bill Hammack, known on YouTube as Engineerguy, tells the story of not just the Titanic, but also the Olympic and the HMHS Britannic.

George Lucas should have died. It was 1962; the 17-year-old had just crashed his yellow Autobianchi convertible into a walnut tree, in Modesto, California. The car rolled, bounced and came to rest - it was "beyond mangled, flipped upside down and twisted like a crushed Coke can against the tree". When the teenager woke in hospital two weeks later, his heart having nearly stopped, he had a new philosophy: "Maybe there's a reason I survived this accident that nobody should have survived."

In 1916, subway construction near Greenwich and Dey Streets in Lower Manhattan unearthed a surprising relic. Some 20 feet underground, workers turned up charred timber; digging further, the contours of an ancient ship came into view-its prow, keel, and ribs.

Counting Ships is a photography series by Pierfrancesco Celada that examines proximity, movement, and scale within a maritime landscape.

On September 14, Alejandro Carranza, a 42-year-old fisherman, set out to sea from a remote town in La Guajira, Colombia's northernmost province, bordering Venezuela.

But this time, Carranza never returned.

The wreck was found on Dorset's Studland Beach at the end of January when Storm Chandra washed away the sand that had kept it hidden for almost 400 years.

It's nice that you are asking about props, because they're not really acknowledged, says Jode Mann, a TV prop master in Los Angeles. When Mann worked on the children's comedy show Pee-wee's Playhouse in the 1980s, she got a call from its star, Paul Reubens, who said he was nominating her for an Emmy. It was only after Mann told her mother and promised to thank her if she won that Reubens called back to say he couldn't nominate her because there's no category for you.

Through the atmospheric lens of New York-based photographer Geordie Wood, a short film called " Divers " glimpses a day in the life of an elite high-diving camp. A moody yet bright setting evokes the way sun still glares when tucked behind clouds or glints off the surface water, and individuals are alternately silhouetted and spotlit by its glow. With cinematography by Adam Golfer and editing by Luke Lorentzen,

A quarter-century later, it's safe to say that those days have come to an end. Not only does the streaming-only Netflix of the twenty-twenties no longer transmit movies on DVD through the mail (a service its younger users have trouble even imagining), it ranks approximately nowhere as a preferred cinephile destination. That has to do with a selection much diminished since the DVD days
