It's hard to believe the Titanic threatened my very existance 91 years ago.

I'm not kidding!!

How does that work then Were your grandperants on the ill fated ship?

My Grandmother's father, who was Dutch, bought a ticket for the maiden voyage on the Titanic to come to America on a business trip. It was the cheapest ticket available, so it would have been like a 3rd class of something of that sort. A couple weeks before the the Titanic was to set sail, his mother had a bizarre, vivid nightmare that something terrible was going to happen to her son if he was to sail on the Titanic. She begged and pleaded and he finally bought a ticket for a dutch liner instead. Once he arrived in New York, he was shocked to see the headlines. He immediately bought a postcard with a picture of the Titanic on it, and my Grandmother still has it. It's kinda cool

So there you have it. If it hadn't of been for that dream, I more then likely wouldn't be alive

Its bizzare this. Apparently lots of people who were to sail on the Titanic had a dream that it would all end in disaster. There is nothing to prove this but apparently there was an unusual amount of last minute cancallations for the voyage.

I saw an interview on the telly.  One of the Chambermaids on the Titanic was a nursing auxillary on the Britannic when She was sunk in the Mediterannean.  She is the only known woman to have survived the sinking of two sister ships.

It was also my Dad's B-Day, the day Lincoln was assasinated, and tax day. The 16th is a VERY unlucky day indeed.
