The Titanic struck an ice berg and sank 113 years ago today. About 1500 people died making it one of the worst disasters in maritime history. And for whatever reason people (including me) are fascinated with the story.
Last summer I went to an exhibit in Seattle that showcased items and photos from the Titanic.
It was sobering, to say the least. One thing I am struck with is that I kind of look like the captain of the Titanic.
He was a flashier dresser than I am. And he came out of retirement to captain the Titanic on its maiden voyage.
That sucks.
But one of the things I have always found amazing was the story of the musicians on board the ship playing right up until the ship sank. Pretty amazing and pretty sad.
Here's to the memory of the souls who lost their lives on that fateful day in 1912.
