    spent yesterday wandering around southampton searching for traces of the titanic. this is the docks where she set sail from, just the other side of that long silver passenger terminal. it's all private so you can't actually see the view from that point. this wee boat was moored up, obviously not titanic in size but it did have one matching funnel.
    549 people from southampton died in the disaster (all crew except one) so it was a major catastrophy for the city. there is a beautiful monument for the engineers who died but very little to remember the everyday deck scrubbers and washer-uppers...it feels like it's time they were given their own memorial, something that recognizes the loss to all the local families.
