[Almond Twist] Titanic
Nothing too special - but they were bought at the last port that Titanic visited before it went down. The day we were there it was very ominous - and in the fog I swore it looked like Titanic was out there. But in reality - it was another big black ship...

Re: [Almond Twist] Titanic
Interesting deck, would you show us more of the cards itself ? You dont come across one of these every other day.

Re: [Almond Twist] Titanic
That is what I thought - but when we were traveling in Ireland we came up on a huge - and very emotional - Titanic display. When you went in they gave you a name - someone who was on the Titanic. Before you left they told you if you made it or not...montecarlojoe wrote:Pretty sure Southampton was the ONLY port Titanic visited...

The town, now called Cobh, is where Father Francis Browne left the Titanic - he was the only one to do so. He sailed from South Hampton to Cobh (was called Queenstown) and got off. We are all lucky that Browne was a photographer because he took the last photos of the crew / inside the ship / and this photo... the last one ever taken of the Titanic. It was an erie day to say the least! Well of course I had to pick up a few decks of cards. I love it when you have to travel to get a set of cards. Kind of made me feel like I "earned" them...
By the way - these cards are from the 100 anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic.
