  4. How 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!

  8. 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.
