Titanic Anniversay

Today is the 96th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. Tonight at the Bradford Area Public Library, Titanic historian Diana Hatch gave a talk on the sinking of the ship and its aftermath. One of the conclusions after the tragedy was that the Atlantic Ice Patrol had to be better. This eventually led to the formation of the US Coast Guard. Hatch said every year the Coast Guard coommemorates the sinking of the ship by dropping three wreaths -- one for the people who died, one for the survivors and one with a promise that it'll never happen again. For more information on Titanic, you can visit The Titanic Historical Society.

This is Diana's mini-recreation of the sinking of the ship.
