An old photo of RMS Titanic by my great-grandfather.

The posting is a couple of years old, so it may have disappeared from the original host. The original poster is Paddy, who is the barkeeper. Hey, Paddy! Could you maybe repost the pic? I'd sure love to see it too!

RMS Titanic photo.

If you can bear with me please, I'm more than happy to dig it out for you again (a number of photos were deleted from the computer several months ago).

Be glad to oblige.

Here's the photo he took at she lay in Belfast docks.

She looks pretty well complete from the outside as she lay in dock at Harland & Wolff shipyard in Belfast, Ireland.

The photos of other workers looking at her with interest, adds to the humanity of the whole thing I feel.

Amazing photo, just amazing.

I second that. Too bad he didn't get a chance to snap a few pictures inside the ship.

Gave me chills. Thanks for posting that, PADDY.
When we children were tiny tots my family would sing this revival song:

It was on one Monday morning,
About one o'clock,
When the great Titanic
Began to reel and rock.
People began to scream and cry,
Saying, Lord, I'm going to die.
It was sad when that great ship went down.

CHORUS:
It was sad when that great ship went down --
Husbands and wives
And children lost their lives.
It was sad when that great ship went down.
When the ship first left England
And was making for the shore,
The rich declared they would not
Ride with the poor.
So they put the poor below,
They were the first who had to go.
It was sad when that great ship went down.
When they were building,
They said what they would do,
They would build a ship
That the water couldn't break through.
But the Lord in power and hand
Showed the world it could not stand.
It was sad when that great ship went down.

When Paul was sailing
With men all around,
The Lord who sits in Heaven
Said no man should be drowned.
If they'd trust and obey
He would save them today.
It was sad when that great ship went down.

There were people on the ship,
And a long ways from home,
With friends all around them who
Did not know their time had come.
Old Death he came riding by,
Sixteen hundred had to die.
It was sad when that great ship went down.

So there she is in all her unfinished glory. Thanks for reposting it Paddy.
