Titanic Historical Society of the disaster in Boston, Massachusetts. The event brought together several living survivors, including Eva Hart, Louise Pope, Michel Marcel Navratil, and Beatrice Sandstrom, who enthralled those in attendance with their vivid first-person accounts of the night the "Titanic" foundered in the north Atlantic Ocean. Walter Lord, author of his seminal "Titanic" work, "A Night to Remember", was another featured guest. The Society also works to preserve the history of other ocean liners, especially the "Titanic" 's sister ship, the White Star Line's HMHS "Brittanic", which sank after hitting an enemy mine in World War I, and the Cunard ship
The Ship that Never Returned The Ship that Never Returned The Ship That Never Returned is an 1865 song written by Henry Clay Work, about a ship that left a harbor and never came back. A reason for the ship not returning isn't given in the lyrics. However, the line, "and their fate is yet unlearned", implies that the reason is unknown. The song became so popular that Carl Sandburg's collection "American Songbag" recorded an adaptation from the Kentucky mountains. The tune formed the basis of "Wreck of the Old 97", about a 1903 train wreck; recorded by Vernon Dalhart in 1924, and many others
