Halifax (Part 2) - Fairview Lawn Cemetery
Halifax is known as the City of the Dead and for good reason. We'll be taking you on a tour of the various Titanic sites in and around the city from cemeteries to memorials and specific locations. This footage was compiled while Matt and Tom were in Halifax in June, and when Tom visited a second time in September, 2017.
In this episode, you'll learn about the 121 graves at Fairview Lawn Cemetery, including Alma Palsson, J Dawson, Herbert Cave, and the Unknown Child.
In the next Episode, we'll visit Baron De Hirsch Cemetery, where graves of those presumed to be Jewish are buried.

Titanic Graveyard Fairview Lawn Cemetery All the Tombs (Halifax Canada)
121 victims of the RMS Titanic sinking are buried at Fairview, many with named tombstones but also many unidentified. A baby's tomb was for nearly a 100 years identified as The unknown child was finally identified as Sidney Leslie Goodwin lost along with his whole family. The Gravestones are arranged in the shape of a ship with the 'Unknown Child' at the prow. People leave coins and momentoes on the tomb of the Baby Goodwin, I wish we had brought something. Girls used to leave flowers on the Gravestone of J Dawson imagining him to be the 'Jack Dawson' of the movie but we saw none. I've been a Titanic fanatic for many years so this was an important moment for me. The identification of the Baby Goodwin can down to a fleck in the DNA of the the babies who matched, there is a fascinating documentary on YouTube about this where it turned out that two babies matched the DNA of the tiny body in the grave because they had shared an ancestor in the past 1000 years and also because a Canadian Mountie couldn't bring himself to obey orders and burn the tiny shoes of the 'Unknown Child'. We had earlier visited the smaller Catholic Cemetery for Titanic victims and sadly had no time to visit the Jewish Cemetery. If you are interested in this sort of stuff there is a LOT to see in Halifax (Windy City) so reserve a couple of days.
There is the Maritime Museum & the Immigration Museum (pier 21). The Halifax Explosion killed 2000 people and destroyed the city. The Empress of Ireland sinking which cost a 1000 lives.
The Titanic Cemetery is just a tiny part of Fairview which is huge. We drove by on the freeway without seeing anyway to get in so do your planning:-

A DAY TO REMEMBER AT 'TITANIC CEMETERY' (FAIRVIEW LAWN CEMETERY), HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA
The voices of those with first-hand experience of the disaster have fallen silent yet our fascination with RMS Titanic is undimmed, which is why so many of us come here, the largest graveyard of those lost that night. The haunting soundtrack is ‘Hymn to the Sea’, composed by James Horner, who also tragically lost his life in a transport (aviation) tragedy on 22 June 2015.
Canada's connection to the TITANIC
After the sinking of the Titanic, ships were sent out to recover the bodies still floating in the North Atlantic. Those deceased were either given a proper burial at sea or were brought to Nova Scotia. Most of them were then buried in 3 different cemeteries in Halifax. While traveling through Nova Scotia, I had the opportunity to visit the graves and pay my respects.

HALIFAX 2019 (CANADA) - FAIRVIEW LAWN CEMETERY (TITANIC VICTIMS)

Titanic Gravestones Fairview Lawn Cemetery, Halifax, Nova Scotia
This film was shot at Fairview Lawn Cemetery, where over 100 victims of the most famous shipwreck, Titanic are interred, in Halifax, Nova Scotia. It was a moving experience to pay respects and to feel so close to the amazing, yet tragic story of this famous, brand new ocean liner on its maiden voyage, colliding with an iceberg in the middle of the North Atlantic and sinking within 2 hours causing a death toll well over 1,500 people. Over 100 of the victims were recovered from the ocean by Canadian vessels and brought here for internment. Please leave a comment if you wish.

Hey all, felt like getting out for a walk and today I did a video for my new friend Debra Messing. Yes, Debra Messing the actress. :P
Grave Site of The Titanic - Fairview Cemetery, Halifax, Nova Scotia
One hundred and twenty-one victims of the RMS Titanic sinking are interred at Fairview, more than any other cemetery in the world. Most of them are memoralized with small gray granite markers with the name and date of death. Some families paid for larger markers with more inscriptions. The occupants of a third of the graves, however, have never been identified and their markers contain just the date of death and marker number. Surveyor E. W. Christie laid out three long lines of graves in gentle curves following the contours of the sloping site. By co-incidence, the curved shape suggests the outline of the bow of a ship. [from Wikipedia]
Audio clips are from what I consider to be the best of the Titanic movies, A Night To Remember.
I did my best, but Pinnacle Studio 16 is quite buggy when it comes to using Speed effects. The end results are a bit glitchy.

Nearer My God to Thee | Titanic | Fairview Cemetery Halifax | Nova Scotia
As we returned to Halifax to end our Nova Scotia tour of the Maritime provinces, our guide mentioned we had a bit of extra time and could fit in an unscheduled stop at the cemetery where many of the RMS Titanic victims were buried. As we approached, Ashton and Aubrey reflected on the musicians onboard who had perished in the icy waters. The girls spontaneously took their instruments to the graves of the Titanic musicians and Aubrey explained to our tour group how, in the moments after the Titanic struck an iceberg, the musicians played on deck to calm, comfort, and cheer as passengers boarded lifeboats, and the ship broke apart and sank. Witnesses reported the last hymn played was “Nearer My God to Thee.” After telling the story, Aubrey and Ashton were privileged to stand near the headstone of one of the victims and play the familiar old hymn. Their music was offered as a gift to those listening in the stillness of the moment, as well as to honor the heroic musicians who gave the ultimate gift: their music and their lives. Many at Fairview Cemetery heard and drew near. After the last note was played, the silence was deafening.
The Titanic Graveyards (Van Life in Halifax)
Exploring historic and beautiful Halifax was wonderful. A highlight was seeing the graves sites of some of the Titanic victims lost at sea. The touching stories of the Titanic survivors, rescuers, and those that died can be found at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic downtown. We also visited the Citadel, Public Gardens, and tried Poutine for the first time!
