If you want to exchange information or just want to strike up a conversation about RMS Titanic or any other historical ship, the titanic-discuss list may be for you. Many of the people on the list are researchers (both professional and amateur) and have a wealth of information to share. The list is available in two formats: regular email or digest. In regular mode all emails sent to the list are distributed to everyone while digest mode collects all the messages within one cycle (about 24 hours) and then distributes to digest subscribers.

Only list members can post to the list and non-list members messages will be rejected. If you have more than one email address you can designate a second one as an alternative. Also be forewarned that using an email address from your workplace may not be allowed by your employer, who can demand that the list owner remove a workplace email address. So it is suggested you use private email address to avoid complications.

The rules of the list are simple: no foul language or obscene words (this is a family list where children participate from time to time). Please keep the list topic focused on Titanic or other historical ships. And when replying to messages be sure to trim so that whole messages are not reposted back to the list. The subscriber list is private and only the list hosting company (Listbox and it has a strong privacy policy) and the list owner have access to the subscriber info. The email addresses of members will never be sold to third parties for marketing purposes.

List message traffic can vary but can be as few as a few messages a day or a lot if there is a serious discussion going on.


You will get back an email message requesting to confirm the action and then the request will be passed on to the list owner. If you hear nothing back within 24 hours, you can send an email to editor@titanicnewschannel.com.
