I've come across a new cookbook called: “RMS Titanic, dinner is Served” with menus, recipes and pictures of the food served on the Titanic. Beautiful book...then found out the author (Yvonne Hume)is the great niece the first violinist on the Titanic. Her new book, “The First Violin”, has the history of that musician short life and how the owner of the ship treated the employees and survivers.
Fascinating, if you love history - and the Titanic.

Another crazy thing is that my husband has an old book about the Titanic from his grandma. It was like an anniversary edition of the tragedy - 1913, IIRC. He doesn’t know how she got it; it was printed before she was born, so maybe her mother/father bought it new, or maybe any of them bought it 2nd-hand. And *I’m* the Titanic nut. Just another strange coincidence between us. ;-)
