Enormous Iceberg , Taller Than The One That Sank The Titanic Floats Past The Canadian Coast
Enormous iceberg (150 ft ) , 50 ft taller than the one that sank the Titanic floats past the Canadian coast
Towering over the waves like an ice colossus, it dwarfs the remote Newfoundland town below.
And this enormous iceberg, one of the first of the season to float into ‘iceberg alley,’ has turned the small town of Ferryland into a sudden tourist spot.
The area of Canada’s east coast by Newfoundland and Labrador is known as Iceberg Alley due to the large number of the 10,000-year-old glacial giants which drift down from the arctic each spring.

Scurta introducere despre Titanic - St. John's Canada
Icebergs in Freshwater Bay and Quidi Vidi St. John's Newfoundland
The two areas shown in this video are within a ten min drive from each other. This has been a good year for icebergs and the season is not over yet. Kind of appropriate in that this is the 100 anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic by an iceberg in 1912. Quidi Vidi is a small fishing village that is part of the capital city of St. John's, Newfoundland. The video also points out Cape Spear, the most easterly point in North America. The iceberg shown near Cape Spear is close to Freshwater Bay (near St. John's)
Les deux zones indiquées dans cette vidéo sont dans un lecteur de dix minutes de l'autre. Cela a été une bonne année pour les icebergs et la saison n'est pas encore terminée. Type de appropriée en ce qu'il s'agit du 100 e anniversaire de la naufrage du Titanic par un iceberg en 1912. Quidi Vidi est un petit village de pêcheurs qui fait partie de la capitale de Saint-Jean, Terre-Neuve. La vidéo souligne également Cape Spear, le point le plus oriental de l'Amérique du Nord. L'iceberg montré près de Cape Spear est proche de Freshwater Bay (près de Saint-Jean)

TITANIC SHIP OF DOOM
RMS Titanic was a British passenger liner that sank in the North Atlantic Ocean on 15 April 1912 after colliding with an iceberg during her maiden voyage from Southampton, UK to New York City, US. The sinking of Titanic caused the deaths of 1,502 people in one of the deadliest peacetime maritime disasters in modern history. The RMS Titanic was the largest ship afloat at the time of her maiden voyage. She was the second of three Olympic class ocean liners operated by the White Star Line, and she was built by the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast with Thomas Andrews, who perished with the ship, as her naval architect. On her maiden voyage, she carried 2,224 passengers and crew.

As they huddle around the snowy, makeshift grave, a team of researchers prepare themselves for the worst. Once the coffin has been prized from the ice, however, they realize that nothing could have prepared them for this. There, staring back at them, are the open eyes of a man who’s been dead for over 100 years.
In 1845 Sir John Franklin headed out from England’s shores. He was bound for an unexplored section of the Northwest Passage, through the Canadian Arctic along the coast of North America. A grueling journey lay ahead, but Franklin was no stranger to long voyages. Indeed, he had already been on three, serving on two as the leading officer.
This particular journey initially consisted of 134 crew members across two vessels, HMS Terror and HMS Erebus. The ships were well-stocked with tools – and also provisions to last for at least three years, including thousands of pounds of raisins, meat and pickles.
Three months after the ships had embarked from the port of Greenhithe, England, five of the original crew members had returned, having been sent home. But the remaining 129 men were never heard from again. Indeed, their fate was a mystery for more than a century.
Early expeditions to track down Franklin’s crew in the 1850s did locate a few clues to their whereabouts, however. A team of American and British explorers found an abandoned campsite on Beechey Island, a tiny parcel of land in the Canadian Arctic. What’s more, the discovery soon led them to three graves, dated some four years prior and purportedly belonging to Franklin’s crew.
Search teams on these earliest voyages also found notes indicating what may have happened to Franklin’s crew. It seemed that the vessels had run into ice in 1846. However, instead of investigating further, the search party returned home. And while other shreds of evidence came to light, they were all just pieces of an incomplete puzzle.
Ironically, those same search teams actually helped to complete Franklin’s original mission during the search for his crew. After all, sailing up to the Northwest Passage took them through it, charting new locations. And yet nobody would know what actually happened to that original voyage for over 100 years.
Indeed, it wasn’t until 138 years later that anthropologists finally cracked the mystery wide open. A team of researchers from the University of Alberta in Canada headed out to Beechey Island, where they managed to shed new light on precisely what happened to Franklin’s lost crew.
In 1984, then, Owen Beattie and his team made the journey up to Beechey Island. There, they too found the three graves that had laid undisturbed for over a century. Each one had been marked by a wooden headboard, indicating that the deaths had occurred over a period of three months.
And, four feet below the ground, the scientists discovered the coffin of one John Torrington. He had died 138 years ago, aged just 20. Torrington had been the first member of Franklin’s crew to perish, but it was obvious that he had not been the last – and nor had the other two men buried beside him.
Once Beattie and his team had retrieved the body from the coffin, they discovered, to their surprise, that it had been almost perfectly preserved beneath the Arctic freeze. Torrington’s body lay on a bed of wood chips, still dressed in the cotton shirt and linen pants that he’d presumably worn while alive. His crew mates had wrapped him in linen sheets and fabric. And, most chillingly, his eyes were still open.

Titanic victim from Long Island
Marking the 100th anniversary of Titanic's sinking, St. Ann's Episcopal Church will offer a Mass in honor of Edith Corse Evans of W. Sayville, a passenger on the ill-fated cruise ship. Videojournalists: Mario Gonzalez, Phillip Gowan and Hutch Evans (April 10, 2012)
Three icebergs early April St. John's Newfoundland
This is iceberg season in Newfoundland. It was in April 1912 that the Titanic struck an iceberg not too far from Newfoundland and sank. The bergs in this video are probably smaller that the one the Titanic hit but they individually weight many thousands of pounds. The video was taken from Signal Hill in St. John's on the spot where Marconi received the very first transatlantic radio signal in 1901. The Titanic used Marconi's technology by sending CQD and SOS signal in Morse code in an attempt to get help.
C'est la saison des icebergs à Terre-Neuve. C'était en Avril 1912 que le Titanic a heurté un iceberg pas trop loin de Terre-Neuve et a coulé. Les icebergs dans cette vidéo sont probablement plus faible que celui du succès de Titanic, mais ils milliers de poids individuellement beaucoup de livres. La vidéo a été prise à partir de Signal Hill à St. John sur l'endroit où Marconi a reçu le signal de la radio toute première transatlantique en 1901. Le Titanic a utilisé la technologie de Marconi en envoyant CQD et SOS signal dans le code Morse dans une tentative pour obtenir de l'aide.

Nearly 100 years after the sinking of the Titanic, high-quality 3D images of the wreck are being captured to document a site that may soon disappear forever.
The luxury cruise liner hit an iceberg and sank in 1912, killing 1,500 people.
Teams searched for decades to find the vessel but it was not until 1985 that the iconic relic was discovered, 2.5 miles beneath the surface of the ocean.
Now the structure is disintegrating and it may not be long before the vessel's skeleton crumbles into the abyss.
RMS Titanic, the US group with the exploration rights to the site, are trying to produce a high-tech map of the area to preserve it in digital history.

Scientists and archaeologists have sent a remote operated vehicle with a camera attached down to the ocean floor and the first images have been beamed back up.
The crew, which set sail for Newfoundland in Canada, will provide real-time video and photo updates via Facebook for the duration of the 20-day mission.
The team also hopes the detailed images, captured using sonar and high-resolution video, could shed more light on why the boat sank.
However, operations have had to be put on hold because of Hurricane Danielle.
The team has returned to St John's in Newfoundland and will go back once it is safe.
Peter Mackay addresses Titanic Ceremony- April 15, 2012
One hundred and twenty-one victims of the Titanic sinking are buried at Fairview Lawn Cemetery, more than any other cemetery in the world. Many of the victims are memorialized with small, grey, granite markers that cite their date of death, April 15, 1912. Some of the victims names' appear on the markers while other victims remain unidentified.
The gravesite of the Unknown Child, later identified 19-month old Sidney Leslie Goodwin from England, is located at the cemetery. His small leather shoes are on display at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic in Halifax.
Twenty-nine other Titanic victims are also buried in Halifax; 19 victims in the Mount Olivet Cemetery, a Roman Catholic cemetery, and 10 victims in the Baron de Hirsch Cemetery, a Jewish cemetery, also known at the Beth Israel Synagogue Cemetery.
Government of Canada recognizes Canadians efforts
in recovering Titanic victims
Actions of Canadians brought comfort to families of the deceased
Halifax, Nova Scotia, April 15, 2012 - On behalf of the Honourable Peter Kent, Canada's Environment Minister and Minister responsible for Parks Canada, the Honourable Peter MacKay, Minister of National Defence, today honoured the efforts of Canadians in the recovery of victims of the RMS Titanic disaster. Minister MacKay announced that the Government of Canada will establish a commemorative plaque to recognize the key role that Canadians played in recovering the victims as an event of national interest.
The ceremony was held as part of a Titanic 100 service at Fairview Lawn Cemetery.
The sinking of the Titanic brought heartbreak to many individuals, but perhaps no Canadian province was more affected than Nova Scotia, said Minister MacKay. Whether buried at sea, in one of three Halifax graveyards, or returned home, each Titanic victim was treated with respect by Canadian sailors as they carried out their sombre mission.
The British passenger liner RMS Titanic, billed as the 'unsinkable ship,' left Southampton, England on April 10, 1912 with more than 2200 passengers on board. Four days later, the RMS Titanic struck an iceberg off the coast of Canada and sank the following day, April 15, 1912. Even though the Halifax port was closer to the wreckage, the Cunard liner Carpathia, which rescued the 705 survivors, headed to the more southerly destination, New York, in order to avoid icy conditions.
Still, Halifax would soon play a key role in the chronicle of the RMS Titanic. Within days of the disaster, four Canadian vessels were dispatched to search for victims. White Star Line, the Titanic's owner, chartered the cable ship CS Mackay-Bennett from Halifax, Nova Scotia to retrieve victims. Three other Canadian ships joined the search: also from Halifax, the cable ship Minia, the Canadian Government lighthouse supply ship Montmagny, and from St. John's, NL, the sealing vessel Algerine. Each ship left with embalming supplies, undertakers, and clergy.
Today, we honour and recognize the key role that Canadians played in recovering RMS Titanic victims, said Minister Kent. Their efforts brought comfort to the families of the deceased, and added to the great legacy of Atlantic Canadians who faced such tragedy with grace, respect and fortitude.
Of the more than 300 bodies recovered by Canadian seaman, 119 were buried at sea, and 59 bodies were sent home. The remaining 150 victims were buried in three Halifax cemeteries: Mount Olivet, Baron de Hirsch, and Fairview Lawn Cemetery. The majority of the victims, 121 in all, rest at Fairview Lawn Cemetery.
Parks Canada works to ensure Canada's historic and natural heritage is protected and, through a network of national parks, national historic sites, and national marine conservation
areas, invites Canadians and people around the world to engage in personal moments of inspiring discovery at Canada's treasured natural and historic places.
Titanic Grave Site - Halifax, Nova Scotia
“On Sunday, April 14 at 11:40 pm, the Titanic struck a giant iceberg and by 2:20 am on April 15, the “unsinkable ship” was gone. The first vessel to arrive at the scene of the disaster was the Cunard Liner RMS Carpathia and she was able to rescue more than 700 survivors. On Wednesday, April 17, the day before the Carpathia arrived in New York, the White Star Line dispatched the first of four Canadian vessels to look for bodies in the area of the sinking.
On April 17, the Halifax-based Cable Steamer Mackay-Bennett set sail with a minister, an undertaker and a cargo of ice, coffins and canvas bags. She arrived at the site on April 20 and spent five days carrying out her grim task. Her crew was able to recover 306 bodies, 116 of which had to be buried at sea. On April 26, the Mackay-Bennett left for Halifax with 190 bodies. She was relieved by the Minia, also a Halifax-based cable ship.
The Minia had been at sea when the Titanic sank, but returned to Halifax in order to collect the necessary supplies before sailing from the Central Wharf on April 22 for the scene of the disaster. After eight days of searching, the Minia was only able to find 17 bodies, two of which were buried at sea.
On May 6, the Canadian government vessel CGS Montmagny left Halifax and recovered four bodies, one of which was buried at sea. The remaining three victims were brought from Louisbourg, Nova Scotia to Halifax by rail. The fourth and final ship in the recovery effort was the SS Algerine, which sailed from St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador on May 16. The crew of the Algerine found one body, which was shipped to Halifax on the SS Florizel.
The majority of the bodies were unloaded at the Coal or Flagship Wharf on the Halifax waterfront and horse-drawn hearses brought the victims to the temporary morgue.
Only 59 of the bodies placed in the morgue were shipped out by train to their families. The remaining victims of the Titanic were buried in three Halifax cemeteries between May 3 and June 12. Religious services were held at St. Paul's Church and at the Synagogue on Starr Street. Burial services were held at St. Mary’s Cathedral, Brunswick Street Methodist Church, St. George’s Church and All Saint’s Cathedral.”

The sinking of the RMS Titanic caused the deaths of 1,517 of its 2,229 passengers and crew (official numbers vary slightly) in one of the deadliest peacetime maritime disasters in history. The 712 survivors were taken aboard the RMS Carpathia. Few disasters have had such resonance and far-reaching effects on the fabric of society as the sinking of the Titanic. It affected attitudes toward social injustice, altered the way the North Atlantic passenger trade was conducted, changed the regulations for numbers of lifeboats carried aboard passenger vessels and created an International Ice Patrol (where commercial ships crossing the North Atlantic still, today, radio in their positions and ice sightings). The 1985 discovery of the Titanic wreck on the ocean floor marked a turning point for public awareness of the ocean and for the development of new areas of science and technology. April 15, 2012 will mark the 100th anniversary of the Titanic disaster. It has become one of the most famous ships in history, her memory kept alive by numerous books, films, exhibits and memorials.
