Titanic

Titanic was British ship that sank in April 15, 1912 after colliding with an iceberg. Over 1,500 lost their lives. Now a 103 years later it still gets talked about....kinda only when your referring to the movie staring Kate Winslet and Leonardo Dicaprio, but did you know that month after the sinking a survivor name Dorothy Gibson starred in a short movie called 'Saved From The Titanic'. It says though that the last prints were destroyed in a fire in 1914, but some print stills have survived. She was already a silent movie star before she boarded the famous ship.
But it wasn't only humans who also lost their lives that day. There were 12 dogs aboard the Titanic only three survived; two Pomeranian's and a Pekingese. Lucky for these dogs they were small and more likely went unnoticed, but sadly the dogs in the picture did not make it. One of the Pomeranian's was purchased in Paris by Margret Bechstein Heys, unknow Pomeranian name owned by Martin Rothschild who didn't survived the shipwreck, but his wife did. The Pekingese was named Sun Yat-Sen, owned by Henry  S. Harper.
