    Look at this thread on Albion House - home of White Star:

    The Titanic was conceived here. The passenger missing list was read out from its balcony.

    Deprived of its unique dockland waters Liverpool
    becomes a Venice without canals, just another city, no
    longer of special interest to anyone, least of all the
    tourist. Would we visit a modernised Venice of filled in
    canals to view its modern museum describing
    how it once was?

    The TITANIC SANK 98 YEARS ago today 15 April 1912.
    On the 96th anniversary, two years ago, 2008, I was on QE2 and we stopped directly above the TITANIC.
    We had a Service on the Afterdeck and two wreaths were cast into the sea. It was raining, and very windy. The nearest iceberg then was 25 miles away. An unusal experience to be directly above the Titanic on the anniversary. The photo shows the service.

    Thanks Ged, brilliant photos ! I'm always fascinated seeing folk from so long ago, and wondering what their lives were like. That little baby in the middle pic - you wonder how life turned out for them.
