We all received boarding passes as we entered the Titanic.  As we left the exhibit we could look at all the names of those who perished and those who survived and find out how we fared.  I survived along with my daughter, Edith.  Nicolas and Caleb also survived, but Seth, Lydia, Anna, and Russ did not fare as well.   Anna was the person on the above boarding pass.  She was quite saddened to see that not only she perished, but also her 3 year old daughter and 9 month old son.  If you click on the picture you can read it better.
