"Built by Irishmen. Sunk by an Englishman!" Motif on a sweatshirt in Carroll's Irish gift store in a loyalist part of Belfast. Even Billy Boys consider themselves Irish on the odd occasion. But hey! No more ugly buildings at the old Titanic shipyards. Build a Titanic II. Get busy, you super-rich Irish-Americans. Your old country needs you.

My children's grandmother,Margaret (Scott) Donnelly is the grand niece of Samuel Scott who died working on the Titanic at the age of 15. Last year a memorial to Samuel Scott was held in Belfast and my children were there. A book has been written about Samuel Scott & Titanic..I can find the name if anyone's interested.

Not to be outdone I will be erecting a shrine in a field in Ireland where a bathtub of the kind used in the Titanic first class cabins and stamped with the date 1912 is currently used to water cattle. It will be on ebay shortly thereafter.
