    We have a Titanic gravesite here in Halifax. The graves are in the shape of a ship's hull. I teared up the first time I was there. Some of the head stones are very detailed. Others just have the date of the sinking. Anyway you look at it, it's a very poignant place that tugs at the heart strings.

      What a sad story. It's interesting that she was married a few times after the loss of Lucian. Ending up at a sanitarium is tragic. It's a wonder if she had nightmares about that sinking and her ordeal. May she rest in peace.

    I had never heard of that plane crash. What a tragic loss and shock..so close to home. I was touched by hearing all the birds singing. Life hoes on and they are all out of pain. The Titanic story again was unknown to me and so sad but fascinating. I can't imagine. Obviously no one could hold a candle to her first love and the father of her son. I hope she is with him now forever. Thank you for BOTH wonderful stories between the dates! Love everything you share.

    The titanic was the only ship with coal. The miners was on strike. Most of the men who survived was deadheader coming to America to find work on another ship. They knew it was going to sink and got on the first boats out.

    My great grandparents had tickets...the story i got my great granny didnt like the sound of the name.. had a horrible feeling about it. Great grandad said " dont be silly, will be fine." The morning they were getting ready to go granny was being very slow and tarty..by time they got to the dock, the ship had already left. Grand dad was i guess pretty angry they missed the boat. Apparently i have some relatives that still have the tickets!! Guess i wouldn't be here if they were on time!!.. i guess i know where my mom ( RIP) and i got our spotty abilities to have premonitions that normally turn out to happen a few days later.

    First i never heard of the Marshall movie or story. I will find that movie if i can. So sad all those people from one place had to die.Now to Titantic survivor, Mary, i had heard of her and her husband in a documentary on the A& E channel called the Legend lives on. That was 1994 and a two parter on the Titantic so i really got involved in that tragedy since then. And some other shows since then mentioned her too. Too bad the husband did not go to other side of ship to get into boats. Enjoyable video but sadness too! RIP to all lost souls.

    The boats are called lifeboats. If her husband was denied a seat in the lifeboat, they were most likely on second officer Lighttoller's side. He was very strict with the order. He was given of women and children first interpreted as women and children only. Sadly if they had gone to the otherside. Officer Murdoch was putting women and children in the boats first, but allowing men when all the women had been loaded and there was space.

    Perhaps Lucien Smith was the one Mary Eloise truly loved. And that's why Smith is on her grave marker. Could be she married several times hoping to replace that lost love.
