The fires in Titanics Coal Bunkers

As far as I know, Titanic was not called "the ship of dreams" until 1990, when Don Lynch used the term as a chapter heading in Titanic: An Illustrated History.

Most of the hype surrounding the ship appeared after the sinking. Much of it came from writers who didn't see Titanic in the context of her time. She wasn't the only posh floating hotel.
 
I am pretty sure that the title "Ship of Dreams" came from Millvina Dean, but I can't remember in which interview she said it. I know it was filmed and televised, and ISTR it was slightly before 1990. I wish I could remember more.
