A Titanic Anniversary...



Whoever added the caption to this photo apparently doesn't know how to spell iceberg correctly.  I couldn't help thinking about this upcoming anniversary during the week, and thinking about those that survived and those that didn't.  I keep thinking of one tidbit about the Titanic accident that I heard about not too long ago: If the Titanic had stayed on it's course, and hadn't gone hard to starboard, they would've just cleared the iceberg.

A friend of mine also brought up on Facebook this week that he read in a report that many people thought "Titanic" was just a movie.  They had no idea that the movie was based on any historical event.  My reaction to that was " Makes me wonder what kind of History they are teaching kids in school today."

  1. Hi Mandy.
    I'm hoping to read the latest from Andrew West?
    His take on the Titanic and thereafter.
