To many to name buried in Westminster Abbey in London (Queen Elizabeth I, Sir Issac Newton, ….), and foundering fathers of this nation, but a couple that most know Calamity Jane & Wild Bill Hickock buried in Deadwood, SD.

But some of the most intriguing for me were a number of “no name” people, only “historic/famous” today because they were victims of drowning on the RMS Titanic - buried in Halifax Nova Scotia in a cemetery next to a brew pub I was “visiting” in the early 90s. Happened upon it just by chance, and at that time I wasn’t aware many of drowning victims were buried there as that is where they were brought into port (as were survivors) after recovery in the N Atlantic at the sinking site.




(not my photos, as I didn’t have a camera on me at the time, but internet images)
