The Titanic on camera, in our mind

If the Titanic has become part of the collective consciousness of mankind, it’s due in large measure to the individual photographers who captured on film the events before and after the tragedy. A set of fine photos – Titanic at 100 years – was put online by The Boston Globe a few days before the Titanic’s 100th anniversary on 15th April 2012. Another must-see gallery dating back to last year can be found in the BBC News website – Titanic’s final photographs by Jesuit priest Frank Browne. Somebody should collect and identify pictures of the 1987 Doña Paz ferry disaster in the Philippines. But who remembers the Doña Paz victims anyway? ~Barista Uno
