So ends that chapter in history.

I had to click on it to see just how old she was as the Titanic sinking was 97 years ago in 1912.She was nine weeks old at the time of the sinking,she would have zero memory of it.But she would know all her life how close she came to dying at the very beginning of it.

Slowly but surely we're closing the book on our links to the early 20th century. The last survivor of the Titanic is now gone, and in the United States, there is a sole survivor of the American Expeditionary Force that went to France in 1917. If I recall correctly, the last Australian veteran of World War I died a few years ago. Not sure if there are any veterans of either the Kaiser's army or the Tsar's army still alive.

Consider too that technology we take for granted is rapidly approaching the century mark: the Model T Ford celebrated a centennial last year; self-starters in cars are closing in on a century in (I believe) the next two years; commercially viable radio will hit a centennial in 2015, if I recall correctly (although commercial radio itself did not become a reality until 1920).

Maybe now that they are all gone the world will finally stop talking about the Titanic survivors constantly, and exploiting them or their memory.

We should never forget the lessons of the sinking of the Titanic.It is a lesson in arrogance.Unsinkable ,but sunk on its maiden voyage.

Do I hear Hollywood and Cameron calling??:angels:
Cameron is finished shooting his wad on the Titanic, figuratively speaking ... or perhaps literally.

I think.
