I have no connections, to my knowledge, of the Titanic but have always been moved by the terror that must have hit those poor people on board.It is beyond my imagination.For years I always thought the failure of the tune to match the words made it one of the worst songs ever written but since researching and learning of the social issues I can understand the sarcastic elements of the song and now think it is one of the best ever written. A dirge tune would not have had the same impact. I hope my version of the song goes someway in getting the story and tragedy across especially to those younger ones who just thought it was a film.Thanks to everyone for the feedback and the Blog for opening up the opportunity for people to watch the slide show.It is appreciated<br />Peter M Adamson.P.M.Adamson (Claim To Fame Man)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10507446647913399021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220897337333701839.post-73112141023298691852012-04-18T19:25:57.012+01:002012-04-18T19:25:57.012+01:00I just remembered that a couple of years ago I vis...I just remembered that a couple of years ago I visited a Titanic graveyard in Halifax, Nova Scotia where many victims were laid.

It is amazing that the tragedy still resonates with us all a hundred years on but it is a piece of history with so many layers to it so I suspect it will linger in our collective consciousness for many years to come.LAC EMP 2020https://www.blogger.com/profile/01999825212820503519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220897337333701839.post-47989059602464684782012-04-15T03:58:50.722+01:002012-04-15T03:58:50.722+01:00Celia, while I was in London, I saw some tv covera...Celia, while I was in London, I saw some tv coverage of the Titanic anniversary and of a newly opened attraction in Belfast (I think) that commemorates the launch site of the Titantic. (Apparently this attraction site is now being booked for wedding parties, and the irony was not absent from the news reports.)<br /><br />Let me add a little trivia from New York, where our prestigious Columbia University still requires its graduates to pass a swimming exam. This dates back to the loss of life from Titanic passengers who could not swim.<br /><br />xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220897337333701839.post-67680823511191800292012-04-14T23:57:10.146+01:002012-04-14T23:57:10.146+01:00Lovely blankets!
