Human Folly ... 95 years on ...


She was the indisputable belle of the ball ...
She was dubbed "unsinkable" ...
She was the best that human effort had put to sea ...
Then in the darkness of the Mid-Atlantic,
she struck an ice berg and within hours she was suddenly a legend.
Today the RMS Titanic is more myth than reality ...
and 95 years after her tragic and fateful maiden voyage
we foolishly think that we will never agains
see a repeat of the Titanic disaster ...
... oh will we never learn??
