HEARTBREAKING TRUTH ABOUT TITANIC

 On this day 107 years ago, passengers of the RMS ‘Titanic’ enjoyed their last evening aboard the ship. An elaborate retirement party was thrown by Mr. and Mrs. George Dunton Widener in honor of the ‘Titanic’s captain, Edward J. Smith. That evening at 11:40pm, the ship struck an iceberg on the starboard side and immediately started taking on water. The very next morning around 2:30am, the ‘Titanic’ foundered taking with her the lives of more than 1,500 people, including those of George Dunton Widener and his son, Harry Elkins Widener. The Widener Family suffered their greatest loss in 1912 and, three later in 1915, P.A.B. ultimately passed away from a combination of old age and heartbreak. Tonight and tomorrow, we remember the lives of those who went down on the ‘Titanic’ and as for this page, we especially remember G.D.W. and H.E.W. May they Rest In Peace.
