Titanic Prime consisting of 111 Blocks of each Digit plus Zeroes/Historical Note

Historical Note on Titanic Prime consisting of 111 Blocks of each Digit plus Zeroes

This titanic prime was discovered by Harvey Dubner in December $1985$.

When David Wells reported on this number in his Curious and Interesting Numbers, 2nd ed. of $1997$, he mistakenly expressed the number as:

$\paren 1_{111} \paren 2_{111} \paren 3_{111} \paren 4_{111} \paren 5_{111} \paren 6_{111} \paren 7_{111} \paren 8_{111} \paren 9_{111} \paren 0_{2284} 1$

which it is not.
