Titanic 100 years on


It's been a blustery大風大浪的 voyage航程 at times for the MS Balmoral crossing the Atlantic carrying 1300 passengers.

Some of them relatives親屬 of people who travelled the same route on Titanic a century ago; others, just fascinated by the history and mystery神秘的 of what happened to her.

Now they are all coming together at the very spot現場 where Titanic sank to be led in prayer on the decks overlooking the stern船尾 of the cruise ship郵輪.

Wreaths花圈 of flowers will be thrown into the ocean directly above..之上 the wreck失事 site and then this ship's band will play 'Nearer My God To Thee', the hymn聖歌 said to have been played by Titanic's band as she sank into the cold, dark, icy water exactly 100 years ago.
