    About this ebook

    Caitlin and Robert are on the dock hopefully waiting for the safe return their daughter Cassidy and husband Dillon who were on the Titanic when it sank. The waiting is torture since they have no idea what their fate was amid all the confusion. The story is fiction base on the historical event. The fictional story melds into a non-fictional account of our current times. Parallels are illustrated between the two times which are 100 years apart.

      A Tragic Trilogy – Part III

      Caitlin and Robert were thrilled that their daughter and her new husband were to make their way back to the United States on an enjoyable and relaxing cruise. They were so excited that they had to be there when they arrived in New York to be the first greet them home. Combining their love of their daughter with their love of the opera they decided to make the arduous trip to New York City to satisfy both loves.

      The New York Metropolitan Opera House

      39th Street – demolished in 1967

      They arrived in New York at the same time Cassidy and Dillon were boarding the RMS Titanic in Southampton, England. They were granted three enjoyable days of performances, sight-seeing, and fine dining when their joy was shattered as the terrible news spread through the city and the world like a tornado. Something devastating had happened to the ship, their ship, on its maiden voyage.

      The Titanic – April 1912

      It had only been two short weeks since the shakedown cruise gave the lady the stamp of approval and resulted in rave reviews. The world waited for her adoring subjects to meet their unsinkable queen. She was set to sail with only half the compliment of passengers until a coal strike canceled two other cruises. The seemingly fortunate passengers who were unaware of their fate were transferred to the Titanic just before sailing, oh, life’s fortunes, or misfortunes.

      The calm but deadly night

      All the joy of their trip and the anticipation of the arrival of their daughter and husband were replaced with anxiety and sadness. After the sinking of the unsinkable ship there was naturally great confusion, conflicting stories, rumors and most certainly grave concern of the families of the passengers. Caitlin and Robert were assuredly ensconced in that group. Their terror was heightened by the thought that it was they who had placed their beloved daughter and her husband on the ship in such danger with their generous, but fateful wedding gift. As one would imagine, their guilt was crushing.

      Communications during this era was primitive. Even if some specific information did filter its way to America, it was unreliable, hard to verify, confused, and usually inaccurate, with a sprinkle of truth mixed in among the conjecture and hearsay to further add to the confusion. It was a painful wait for an accurate and complete rendition of what had transpired and the aftermath.

      If we give it some serious thought, maybe journalism has not changed so much after all in the past one hundred years. There is a slight but profound difference, however. In 1912, accuracy in communications was hindered by the lack of technology. In 2015, accuracy in communications is hindered by the prostitution of technology. – Ah, so much progress.
