I just looked up information on the eclipse to see if we need to change our cataloging data, and discovered that the GEH record is correct. The eclipse in the photograph took place on April 17, 1912 and the Titanic sank on April 15, 1912. Yes, very cool links!

Place de la Bastille should make for awesome "now" finds -- if only there could be another eclipse!
