Yesterday was the centenary of the launch of the White Star Line's ill-fated and now almost mythical liner Titanic. The Irish Times has published a copy of a postcard that recalls the ships launch:
*
“It glided beautifully into the water. The “Olympic” is going across to Liverpool today. The weather is beautiful here now. . .”
*
The largest liner in the world when launched, the Titanic is dwarfed by current ships such as the Royal Caribbean vessels like the Liberty of the Seas which the boyfriend and I will travel on come fall.

I am fascinated by the history of the Titanic. I cannot imagine the horror those poor people endured. I wish you and your guy smooth sailing on your voyage!
