Jamie Murray has been fascinated
by the Titanic since he was a kid, but his interest was
piqued when he read the Clive Cussler book, "Raise The
Tintanic".
In 1987-88, he built a small model of the wreck, using
Dr.Ballard's book on the discovery of Titanic as a
reference. After he'd written a how-to magzine article about
building the model, Jamie was contacted by Ken Marschall (he
was the historical visual consultant on James Cameron's
'Titanic') : he asked if Jamie could build a larger model,to
be used in a documentary. Jamie worked for nearly two years
on this model, and it is as accurate as possible.
The documentary was never finished, but parts that were
already shot have been used in other documentaries on the
Titanic.
The model sat for a few months in a museum exhibit ... until
it found his way back to Jamie's home.
I hope you will enjoy these
unique photographs ...
