Anniversary
Today, April 18, 2010, the Carpathia entered New York Harbor in place of the Titanic carrying the 705 survivors and 18 of the 20 lifeboats. The Carpathia first lowered the Titanic's lifeboats. God Only know what happened to the lifeboats after they were brought back to England on the Olympic, Titanic's sister ship. The world finally came to the full realization that the Titanic had sunk and there was a great loss of life. On that rainy night, many wept for their husbands, fathers, family members, and friends who would never greet them on the those docks.
