To All,
I recently watched a documentary on the Lusitania. The program had ALOT of photos of the dead. It was very sobering indeed. It reminded me of how important it is, in the midst of any disaster, to remember the loss of innocent lives.
Many of the morgue photos that were shown on this program were of children. So little and so fragile...it wrung my heart. I'm curious though...why were there so few morgue photos from Titanic?
I caught the thread about these supposed photos on e-bay. I have no desire to own or see any of them, but it was not unusual during this period of time for people to photograph the deceased. Were there any morgue photos actually taken in Halifax? Or is this another myth? If they do exist, where exactly are they?
I hope this doesn't sound like morbid curiousity on my part, but I'm wondering why one maritime disaster would include such evidence (photos), and another wouldn't, given that they occured during roughly the same era.
Any and all comments welcome...
