Titanic

It's coming up to 100 years since the Titanic sank on her maiden voyage in 1912. Everywhere you turn, there seems to be Titanic-related stuff going on. In the newspapers, on TV, on Radio, in Magazines, at the Movies - the list goes on.

So who am I to not join in? :-)

I've always found ships and the sea interesting, and wrecks both frightening and fascinating, but I think I like the history behind (or stories behind) those ships more.

In honour of all those who died and survived on the Titanic, I would like to offer up an article I found in my travels. It comes from an English paper, "The Western Times", dated 19 April 1912 - four days after the Titanic went down (15 April 1912).
