Titanic grave site in Halifax, Nova Scotia

Am registered there but have not down loaded these images...photography is a hobby, a passion but paying for sneakers and groceries for the kids means peddling property as primary mission of the day to day.  Glad you liked the images...it is pretty powerful when you view the 200 plus graves and who is interned in this cemetary.  Always thought the Titanic was out in the middle of the ocean and it was off the coast of Halifax which is in our backyard.  My two boys were pretty speechless when they read the different inscriptions in total silence.  The unknown child grave really really hits you with the gravity of the situation...what a peril when you take away the Hollywood romance of the movie.  It was a real life tragedy.  The graves of unknown passengers makes you wonder who they are, what their hopes and dreams were, what it was like in the horror of it all in the middle of the night in ice cold water with total confusion of sights, sounds, smells, etc. Everything happening with casual speed when the boat was touted as indestructable on its first and last voyage.  There are no guarantees in life.

You are right Debbie. I did not realize the wreck was so close, off shore Halifax. I said lack of SOS...it was a simple CQ CQ and hope the nearest boat comes over which they could have, but did not. SOS was one good thing along with enough safety boats to match the number of passengers.
