It makes better sense to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Fenway Park in Boston which opened just 3 days after the Titantic took on water. Plus if you consider how the Red Sox sunk just as fast last September there may be something in common.

Ismay should perhaps not be too quick to criticize. His ancestor Bruce Ismay was the White Star owner who barrelled into a lifeboat while many women and children remained on the Titanic to die. US papers denounced him as the "Coward of the Titanic", while he was ostracized by London society.

1500 killed and they are going to have a celebration with a parade.I think the Brits are a bit mixed up in the head.
