Titanic Revisited talk at the Washington Twp. Public Library

The Titanic Revisited talk will be presented by Audrey L. Boise, tour
escort, at the Washington Twp. Public Library, 37 E. Springtown Rd., Long
Valley, NJ 07853 on Tuesday, May 8, 2012 at 7 p.m.

It’s been 100 years since the “unsinkable” Titanic sank in the North
Atlantic taking more than 1500 passengers and crew to their deaths! Let’s
revisit that period in history and review what actually happened.

As the Titanic was built in Belfast, Northern Ireland, the story started
there. We’ll visit the Belfast of today and hear briefly about its history.

We’ll see the remnants of the Harland and Wolff Shipyard where the Titanic
and her sister ships were built, then follow her to Southampton for passengers
and, on April 10, 1912, the beginning of her maiden voyage across the Atlantic
to New York.

The main event, which took place during the night of April 14-15, 1912, was
not the end of the story. The aftermath, which includes a short visit to
Halifax, Nova Scotia, where some of the passengers and crew were buried, the
subsequent investigation, the hunt for the location of the wreck and its
discovery in 1985, and its more recent history up until the present day, is
also included.

Actual pictures of the Titanic under construction and on board after completion
will be shown to enhance the factual authenticity.

Do come and relive an important historic event!
