“The Titanic was in more senses than one a fool’s paradise. There is nothing that man can build that nature cannot destroy, and far as he may advance in might and knowledge and cunning, her blind strength will always be more than his match.”
Filson Young, Titanic

“green triangle of the shore. Behind you the Copeland”
Filson Young, Titanic

“aft”
Filson Young, Titanic
