I saw this morning on Doug Parker's "Cruise News Today" youtube channel that the Rotterdam's captain stopped the ship yesterday over the exact coordinates of the Titanic's remains.  He held a brief memorial ceremony, including a moment of silence and a fog horn blast, then I believe he dropped a wreath onto the sea.  The day was 111 years to the date of the Titanic's final fateful departure from England.

 

Very well done captain!  It looked to be a very moving ceremony and one that was very fitting for the Rotterdam's historic 150th Anniversary of HAL transatlantic crossing.
