I had a nun in grade school who was a titanic survivor. She vowed if she survived that she would devote her life to God. And she did.

Yeah, the odds aren't very good for many more than that as the ship went down 95.5 years ago.

This 90 sec. sound clip of Edith Russel, a survivor, is quite eerie...

Sad! My kids got me a photograph of her and the Titanic this past Christmas. The photo is of her holding my photo of the Titanic. The other photo is of course the Titanic photo she is holding in the other photo. Nice keepsakes!! RIP Millvina.
