ReplyDeleteSince I've never been to Nova Scotia, this gives me another good reason to travel there. Wonderful photos! :D
ReplyDeleteHow terribly sad that some remain unidentified! One would have thought many friends and relations would have known they were sailing on such a grand new liner!

This is a terrific T post, Andy. I don't think I even know where exactly the Titanic sunk or why you'd have a cemetery in Halifax full of people lost in that tragedy. I wonder who would still be visiting that grave of the unknown child; those stuffed toys are recent.
ReplyDeleteVery intersting and at the same time so sad! Those poor people stuck in that big ship sends shivers on my spine!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your beautiful pics.
