Count me it, I will be back to post on the anniversary.

I just picked up the National Geographic with Titanic on the cover. The artical is good. I plan to light a candle on April 14th, and let it burn until 2:20am the 15th.

You can count me in as well!

Also, this is relevant to the Titanic which is about a Jesuit by the name of Francis Brown who survived because he was told to get off the ship before it happened:

"Browne travelled to Southampton via Liverpool and London, boarding the Titanic on the afternoon of April 10, 1912 in the company of the Lenox-Coyningham and Odell families. He was booked in cabin no. A24 on the Promenade Deck. Browne took dozens of photographs of life aboard Titanic on that day and the next morning; he shot pictures of the gymnasium, the Marconi room, the first-class dining saloon, his own cabin, and of passengers enjoying walks on the Promenade and Boat decks. He also captured the last known images of many crew and passengers, including Captain Edward J. Smith, gymnasium manager T.W. McCawley, engineer William Parr, Major Archibald Butt, and numerous third-class passengers whose names are unknown.

During his voyage on the Titanic, Browne was befriended by an American millionaire couple who were seated at his table in the liner's first-class dining saloon. They offered to pay his way to New York and back in return for Browne spending the voyage to New York in their company. Browne telegraphed his superior requesting permission, but the reply was an unambiguous "GET OFF THAT SHIP - PROVINCIAL". By a quirk of fate, the denial probably saved his life; as few men in first class survived the sinking.

Browne left the Titanic and returned to Dublin to continue his theological studies. When the news of the ship's sinking reached him, he realized that his photos would be of great interest, and he negotiated their sale to various newspapers and news cartels. They appeared in publications around the world. Browne retained the negatives.

Although his photographs have been described as the Titanic Album of Father Browne and books about the photographs have been published in many languages which describe Browne as a priest, Browne had not yet been ordained at the time he photographed the Titanic."

P.S. I'm glad you made it out alive from that accident.

I used to have a book of Father Brown's pictures that I received as a gift in the late 90's while I was in Chicago. It has since gone missing, but I am going to check with the Titanic Museum in Pigeon Forge to see if they are now carrying it.

I have to book about Polar the Titanic Bear and it has the picture of the little boy playing with the top in it. He was the only child ever photographed in the Titanic.

Here is an interesting book. Violet Jessop served on Titanic, Britannic, Olympic, and Lusitania. She survived all three sinkings and the Olympic's two accidents.
