The Titanic

As we all know, it is the 100th anniversary of the Titanic disaster .

It is widely reported that the last port of call for that majestic ship was Southampton. This is a fallacy. The very last port of call for the Titanic was Cobh, (formerly Queenstown), Co. Cork, Ireland.

Do you have any stories to relate with regards to this terrible tragedy?

Someone, in the city where I presently live, said his grandmother was supposed to sail on that ship but her train never made the connection on time.

He wondered if that signified he might ever have been born if not for that train.

Yes, me too. I guess many of them felt guilty because they survived and so many didn't, plus the ordeal itself must have been terrifying and life changing. This is a story that continues to fascinate me.

I know Dowsa. Some people will use any tragic event to capitalize. Look at the Princess Di situation. Magazines knew all they had to do was mention her name and splash her picture on the cover and the public would lap it up.
