NC: Wait, no, that’s James Cameron’s highest grossing film of all time, “Titanic.”* My mistake. (He clears his throat before the music starts up again) This is a tale about a ship of dreams, about a young boy and a young girl who fall in love, but are torn apart by their social class. And only, at the height of their emotional commitment, does the ship meet with disaster. This...is the story of Titanic…(the music fades out)…the animated musical.

Today is the 100th anniversary of the sinking of RMS Titanic.
Others will note it.
Instead I want to memorialize Captain Arthur Henry Rostron of RMS Carpathia. On receiving Titanic’s distress call he turned toward and ran all ahead flank into a known ship-killing ice field.

None of my other grandparents had been born yet, but my one of my maternal great-grandfathers came to the US that year and in 1907 sent for his wife. None of the rest of my family was in the US at the time.
