I’ll bet descendants of Captain Edward Smith know who they are, and carry a small modicum of shame over the ship sinking. Not that there is any logic in today’s descendants feeling any responsibility, but that’s how it works sometimes.
The public remains fascinated with the narrative and the actual event. It was only some 25 years ago when there was yet another movie made about it. This movie became a world wide hit.
My mother would often tell me the story her father told her. My maternal grandfather passed away long before I was born so I never got to hear it straight from him. He was called to the docks that fateful time to help control the crowd that had gathered because they had heard the captain of the ship had donned a dress to escape.
“World Wide Hit,”
I watch it frequently and
Will tonight.
