picture info	Wilhelm Scream The Wilhelm scream is a stock sound effect that has been used in a number of films and TV series, beginning in 1951 with the film ''Distant Drums''.

The screams for that scene, and other scenes in the movie ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
picture info	SS Kaiser Wilhelm II The second SS ''Kaiser Wilhelm II'', named for the German Emperor, was a 19,361- gross register ton passenger ship built at Stettin, Germany (now Szczecin, Poland). The ship was completed in the spring of 1903. At the time of her launch she was larger by 1,900 tons than any other German ship and was surpassed in the weight of her hull and machinery only by the British liners ''RMS Cedric'' and ''RMS Celtic''. The ship was seized by the U.S. Government during World War I, and subsequently served as a transport ship under the name USS ''Agamemnon''. A famous photograph taken by Alfred Stieglitz called ''The Steerage'', as well as descriptions of the conditions of travel in the lowest class, have conflicted with her otherwise glitzy reputation as a high class, high speed trans-Atlantic liner. Design The ''Kaiser Wilhelm II'' was built with a full double-bottom along the hull. She was divided into 26 watertight compartments via 16 transverse bulkheads and one longitudinal bulkhead ...
