Titanic Cemetery II, Canada - 12th January 2010

By: Rennire

Hi Again!

Last fall I went to visit a graveyard where a few Titanic victims were buried. Today I went into Halifax to see the bigger Titanic gravesite that is a lot more popular.

Almost there!

I think the signs are the same as before:

Ren told me that in the summer time this is a very busy tourist place with lots of guides telling stories but there was no one else around today! Here it is:

Most of the stones are very simple, and lots of them do not have names.

This is one of the most popular stones here. It is for one of the first bodies recovered, a very small child. The crew on the boat that found him payed for a bigger headstone.

They didn't know who he was back then, but they have figured out now that he is one of this lady's children.  She ended up being buried just a few feet away.

So sad!

This stone also gets a lot of attention... I wonder why?

The stones are set out in a "U" shape that is supposed to resemble the front of a boat.

I am so lucky that I made it across the ocean safely when so many others have not!

Bye for now,
