Oh man I just realized what day it is today. December 12, 1997. My dad's Dad my Grandpa's death date anniversary. 😢😭 💔

Grandpa was born in 1917 and would be as old as the Titanic. 😲

Not quite. Titanic sank in 1912 (its keel was laid down in 1909).

I was wondering if anybody was going to catch that...... April 12th I do believe!

The Titanic left Queenstown (now Cobh) in Ireland on April 11th, 1912, hit the iceberg just before midnight on the 14th, and sank on the 15th.

BTW. Cobh is pronounced like "cove".

The Titanic sank on  April 14thh 1912

I double-checked before posting my reply above, and every source I found said it sank on the 15th. The iceberg hit was late on the 14th.

Prayers needed for my family again. This time, my dad's sister, my Aunt Alice died on February 6, 2026.

This is easy for me to remember because my Dad was born on April 14 and I was born on April 15. Also, Abraham Lincoln was shot on April 14 and died after midnight on April 15. 

My love and condolences to you and your family Skipper.
