Ceremony honours Titanic victims

The Chronicle Herald

Saturday 19 April 2008

A decades-old ceremony held to remember the Titanic disaster came to Halifax on Tuesday, 96 years to the day after the luxury liner hit an iceberg and went down in the North Atlantic.

With bagpipers and priests present, 18 members of the United States Coast Guard's International Ice Patrol saluted the 1,500 people who died on April 15, 1912.
