Remembering the Titanic |

WHEN THE GRAVE of the
Titanic was discovered in 1985,
200 miles off the shore of Nova
Scotia, local Pat Smith was fas-
cinated by stories of the dis-
covery. ,

‘At that time the Titanic had
lain, undisturbed, two anda half
miles beneath the ocean, for -al-
most 75 years,’* says Smith, ‘It
was a unique time capsule of Hfe
ina differentera.”

This Friday marks the. 83rd an-
niversary' of the sinking of the
Titanic, the great luxury cruise
liner deemed unsinkable. It was
the largest ship of its day.

“Te was 882.5 feet long, 92.5
fect wide and six stories high,’’
says Smith. He has amassed quite
a collection of books and movies
on the great ship.

Over 2,200 people were aboard
the ship, including Charles Hays,
president of the Grand Trunk Pa-
cific Railway, who planned to
bring the railway terminus to
Prince Rupert,

Hays was returning from a trip
to England, where he had gone to
secure financing for the railroad.
