Welcome to Scandinavias largest website about TITANIC,
famous oceanliners and shipwrecks
the disaster still fascinates us. Titanic Norden is getting close to 1 million visitors and the interest in this website is increasing. Welcome to an exciting page. From the year 2011 Titanic Norden has been translated into English with the help of Google Translate.
It was in April 1912 as the ship went on its maiden voyage. 1495 of 2207 people on board perished. This disaster was a great stir in Europe and USA, but what really happened that night? How could a ship was considered unsinkable sink? Many questions were raised about the Titanic and even today the disaster fascinates us. There is often coming a new Titanic movie or documentary and the books written about the Titanic can be counted in thousands.
In the years 2000-2001, when I was in my last year of high school, I made Titanic Norden as a "project". On 1st of May 2001 Titanic Norden was up on the Internet for the first time. The website quickly became popular and the response from visitors so positive that I have continued to update and improve the site for eleven years. The question is whether the Titanic Norden will ever be finished when there is so much to write about. The aim of Titanic Norden have come to be to gather all the Titanic Facts and all the Scandinavians who are interested in Titanic one place. From 2011 I have also tried to translate the website into
English with the help of Google Translate. By doing this I hope to get foreign visitors to find the website. The project has also gone on to also act on other ships. Peoples interest in the Titanic is still so large that the page has about 600 visitors a day. Titanic Norden over the years has come to be involved both in newspapers and on television.

As long as the visitors continue to enjoy the website, I will continue updating it and now I also get help from many people. The layout of Titanic Norden has always looked the same. As a librarian, I advocate a simple layout where it is easy to find what you want. For my own part, my interest in Titanic now come to move to an interest in wreck diving. However, this will never mean that I abandon Titanic Norden.
