Dorothy Gibson, a first-class passenger, was a model and one of the first movie stars. She survived the disaster to appear in the first film about the sinking. Of course, she played herself. Her life after Titanic, was not without incident. A Nazi sympathizer and spy, she switched allegiance and ended up jailed as an anti-fascist agitator in Italy, in 1944. She died of a heart attack at the age of 56 in 1946, in her apartment in the Paris Ritz.

Titanic steward Sidney Daniels who saved numerous lives and survived by climbing on to an upturned lifeboat has been hailed a hero by his children. When disaster struck the brave 18-year-old roused dozens of sleeping passengers and helped launch a lifeboat that saved 24 people. He then leaped from the doomed liner into the icy sea and later clambered on to the capsized vessel. He would go on to wed, have seven kids and die in 1983, aged 89. Now five of his children, thought to be the

This photograph, taken by a different boat in mid-April 1912, shows the icy site where Titanic struck the killer iceberg. The crew of the Titanic received many warnings about dangerous ice along its path, but these messages were essentially ignored.

Kerry Berghuis McGehee I've never seen this one before, Karly - gorgeous! Thanks for finding it!! :~)
Kathleen Paul Interesting - Use of size makes Henry appears so much larger than almost child size Anne. Also use of light makes Anne seem innocent and Henry full of darkness (sin). Plus Henry looks like he is plotting and sizing up unwary victim. Love how the artist skillfully created the image of Henry being a predator.
Karly Latham I love this painting, there are so many different ways to interpret their relationship. I agree Kathleen that Henry looks big and impressive and calculating. Sometimes I think he's looking at her in a loving way as well. Theirs was such a confusing relationship that it's fitting to be able to see such layers in a portrait of them.
Kathleen Paul I agree Karly

Camp Douglas, Chicago. Official death toll was 4,454 Confederate prisoners during the course of the war.
5 curtir 1 comentário 13 repins
Eric Bailey Actual death toll was at least 6,000 and possibly as high as 7,500, giving the camp a mortality rate of 23-29%, on par with a grade II Nazi concentration camp (example, Buchenwald, with a mortality rate of 24%). Camp Douglas, Camp Chase, Camp Elmira, Point Lookout, Rock Island Prison, and Alton Prison all had mortality rates on par with Grade I and II concentration camps. And even Federal civilian inspectors called Camp Douglas an "extermination camp".
A city in ruins. Boston, Massachusetts, after the great fire of November 9-10, 1872.

Gerald Ford was a college football player and a good athlete, but this one slip-up became a running joke for a bumbling presidency. Chevy Chase performed flamboyant falls on Saturday Night Live, making Ford the show’s first presidential victim. The joke was that Vice President Nelson Rockefeller was just one banana peel away from the presidency.

Eric Bailey Next time someone tells you that those 80 dollar Mosin Nagant rifles are junk, remind them that you have to go four or five names down the list of top snipers in history to find someone who didn't use a mosin. And to be clear, this lady isn't even in the top ten, but is still an ace and one of the most famous snipers.
