Grandma Survived the Titanic

Most Of Us Are Not Old Enough To Remember The Sinking Of The Titanic Since Most Of Us Were Not Even Born But Almost Everyone Has A Vivid Mental Picture Of The Last Minutes In The Life Of The Huge Luxurious Liner That Was Supposed To Be Unsinkable. We Can See The Great Ship Ablaze With Lights And Tilting Severely By The Bow As The Lifeboats Were Slowly Moving Away. We Can Only Imagine What It Must Have Been Like To Sit In One Of Those Small Boats And Look Back Or Stand On The Slanting Deck When The Realization That The Unsinkable Ship Was Going Down Must Have Struck Even The Most Faithful. The Women And Children Mandate Though It Was Not Followed To The Letter Is An Integral Part Of The Legend And The Cause Of More Than One Childhood Nightmare In Which Husbands And Fathers Were Forever Lost Beneath The Icy Black Water. Since It Sank On April 14 1912 The Titanic Has Been The Subject Of An Endless Stress Of Books Pamphlets Magazine Articles Films And Even In The 1930S A Country Song Was Written By Roy Acuff What A Shame When That Gre-E-Eat Ship Went Down.
