>.> as an interesting side note (since I know Alex loves personal stories) if the Titanic had not been full, I may very likely not have been born. My great-grandparents were in Britain at the time and wanted to return on the Titanic but by the time they got around to getting their steamship tickets to return to Canada there was no room left (and they were not of the steerage class...heavens!) so they sailed on a different ship instead.
My grandmother, incidentally, was born May 21, 1913
