Hello everyone...
I'm new here and was wondering if someone here might be able to help me out with the below request?
I've been trying to get in contact with anyone in the Baja area or even outside who has props from the movie TITANIC, as everyone knows it was filmed
there in 1997 by James Cameron.
Any help at all on this would be greatly appreciated...
I'm also interested in anyone who might have bought any props from the 1998 Catalogue of the J.Peterman Company.

from the looks of your sig in one of your posts, xpoit, it seems you are a memorabilia dealer scavenging for stuff to resell to fans.
make me an offer for info on source of mother load. what's the cut? |
It's actually not, you couldn't be more wrong sorry... that site is actually an online "Museum" for other people to add their own collections and
stuff, if you sign up you'll also see you cannot sell anything on it and there's no way in the world a profit can be made from the site unless 2
people decide to sell something and contact each other through a private message.. if they do it's at their own risk and has to be done outside of the
site, even if they do that I get nothing, the only thing that profits that site (and never yet has) is the google ads banners. If you look out the
Xpoit username you'll also see all my stuff... and the Titanic stuff ain't for sale... I'm not a dealer, my full time job involves nothing of related
to dealing and I don't deal in my spare time. The only thing I've tried to sell on is a wall sconce from the 1st class area of the set, why? because I
just seen and bought a Southampton dock bollard soon after buying the sconce, and need to money to pay for the bollard.
Sorry but I'm just a collector, not a dealer, you've got that one wrong I'm afraid!

All is not lost for the goat....He'll just add this to his thick scrapbook of nonsense he's accumulated here.
Life is good.

Hi there,
Being one of the lead construction guys for the movie, JR had a warehouse full of items from Titanic. Beautiful windows, tons of awesome blueprints,
ship vents, even the entire ships staircase, and countless other items.
Nearly all of these items were lost in a flood at the location where he stored them around the time he took ill. I believe Carol still has some items,
but I really doubt that she is looking to "move" anything to anyone.
One thing for sure, I sure do miss JR now - more than ever.
Cheers,
-Adam

Thanks Adam for the info... I've heard and read a few things you see, I know he posted a post on Encyclopedia Titanica himself before he sadly passed
stating he wanted to sell his collection... and then I heard his stuff was still for sale a few months back... so that's why I'm wondering how if
possible to get a list or get in touch to see as there might be a few things I'd like to buy.
Shame about the flood, first I heard of that!
I never knew JR but yeah, it makes you think when you read about this stuff!

Hello folks
I was just wondering if anyone ever did come across any props from Titanic or anything, or if anyone knew what happened to JR Baja's collection?
Thanks
J

Well, look at this. Sorry, I can't help you, but you just stirred a very old and fun memory.
The "prop" (the ship) was sitting out there in Feb, 1996 when I rode thru. It was, indeed, stunning to see. Knowing nothing about it, I tried to
imagine what I was seeing. (Well, I *knew* what I was seeing. I was trying to make sense of it.)
Is it a new cruise ship? (What marooon would decide it would be a good idea to enter the cruise industry with "The Titanic"? So, as I rolled by, I
ruled that out.)
Still mulling it over: Is it some casino / resort / attraction of some kind? Well, possible I guess. (Still scratching m' head and wondering....)
NO! I've got it! They're doing a re-make of the movie. (That was the very first I knew of it.

It was.
(There's a typo in there, but the forum N-zis wouldn't let me correct a minute later. <g>)
It was late '96 (Nov) when I went thru. Of course I knew that and was thinking that but that's not what came out my fingers. (Methinks I'm a bit too
wrapped up in the current (Feb) trip.)
