Titanic Connection

I, like most poeple, have had a passing fascination with the Titanic. My interest was peaked one day when I did a web search on my surname. Among all of the WebCrawler returns was The Titanic Resource Site. For the life of me , I could not figure out why Bonnell would be linked to the Titanic. Looking for my name on the site, I checked out the passenger list and found two first class passengers with my name: Miss Lily Bonnell and Miss Caroline Bonnell, both of whom were rescued. Needless to say I came down with the Titanic bug.

The Ship that rode on noonday tide
Rode forth to the open sea,
But gone are the gladness, and hope and pride
For the Northern Ocean's depth could hide,
A mightier power than She!
