Can't beat that for skill. Every time I go on a ship now, I always ask, how unsinkable is it.

Congratulations on your win Anne-Lise. "There are no ballrooms for dancing on the seabed." So poignant. Full of "impact!" So descriptive of the tragedy. Well done my friend. Blessings and hugs!

That was one sad event in the history of our world. So many thought it was going to be a great time at sea and a lovely visit to another country. Only a few survived. Thanks for sharing this one and for stopping by my page. It reads like a good contender for Brian's contest to me. Way to go. Sara
