Interesting...
My mother was 2 months old when the Titanic sank and so she heard the adults talk about the ship as she grew up...sometimes over the years there would be a discovery that there had been a relative or friend of a neighbor or family member on the ship and the stories would start up again...
I think my mother knew just about as much about the Titanic as one of the actual passengers...
That and the 2 world wars...how could I help but have an interest in history ???
My MIL grew up hearing her mother describe the Titanic sinking.
Not long before she passed, I mentioned that the last known tune played by the doomed orchestra was called “Autumn”.
She got out a hymnal from her childhood and said, “Yes, that was the melody they played”.
The Titanic is with us yet.
