Titanic and Submarine Alvin

Alvin was built in 1964 as one of the world' first deep-ocean submersibles. 

Gwendolyn, Wesley and my husband had
 the opportunity to visit
 and see Alvin.

Wesley and friends at the command
center of the research ship, Atlantis,
were Alvin rides aboard.



Alvin's most famous exploits include surveying the wreck of RMS Titanic in 1986.

Thank you so much Theo Moniz for taking us to explored such a fine submarine ~ Alvin .

Praise be to the God and Father of our
Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of
compassion and the God of all comfort,
who comforts us in all our troubles, so that
we can comfort those in any trouble with
the comfort we ourselves have received
from God.
The Book of  2 Corinthians

Now let's have tea to commemorate
the sinking of the Titanic! 

What was the afternoon tea on the Titanic like?


Tea on the Titanic would have been very similar
to the teas given by Queen Victoria.

The elegant life~style of that era . . .


It would have been an impressive sight . . .







Gwendolyn

Last summer we visited the Titanic Museum .
Pigeon Forge, TN

When RMS Titanic set sail on her maiden voyage
April 10, 1912, she was the ultimate
passenger liner.

Some believe she was unsinkable . . .
but she collided with an iceberg late in the
evening of April 14,
sinks April 15, 1912, at 2:20 a.m.

Gwendolyn

Lord, dismiss us with thy blessing,
Hope, and comfort from above;
Let us each, thy peace possessing,
Triumph in redeeming love.

In Christ love,

I'm joining . . .

  3. Thanks for posting those words of comfort from the Bible. I can't help but think about those who depended on God's help as they aided women and children board the lifeboats, knowing that they themselves were not going to survive.

  9. Fabulous post to pay homage to the sunked TITANIC SHIP. You did a great job and adorable children too. Although it's sad, but I think the elegance of by-gone English era fascinates us. At the same token, they were also so many, or all in poor class, that drowned in it too. Thanks for sharing, I will be posting a small tea in honor of the Titanic later tonight. Have a nice week.

  22. Dearest Wendy,

    What a great thing for taking your family to such educational and historical museums!
    The French also had those luxury liners at that time. Christofle did outfit them. They all were so graceful and elegant but remember; only for the wealthy! Not our ancestors.
    Love to you,
    Mariette

  24. Hi Wendy, I enjoyed this with you this wonderful item, the Titanic. There are so many things to talk about this boat ... but today I will mention how much I like that picture of the ladies taking tea with these beautiful costumes, hats, t lace adorned with roses, fascinating! Your version is lovely tea, cup with roses, the tea and the beautiful doll, visually captive to your followers! There are so many important details of the titanic, but among these I unlike most the first time I saw her in the ce, went out rueful so huge the amount of people who had lost their lives on that tragic day! Thanks Wen, for tickets or post are beautiful! Greetings, Rose M
