The Traveler… a sad headline day…

[1]Today I found myself in a period of time that is so familiar to all that unfortunately not much really needs to be written about it. The Tribune, Los Angeles, April 16, 1912 [2], reported the sad headline of “Titanic Sinks; 675 Are Saved 1800 Go Down In Ship, Report” and contains many reports, photos, illustrations, and passenger lists.  While I have spent most of my travels looking for the off-the-beaten-path articles/news of the day, some days the main event is so tragic, to look for anything trivial would be inappropriate.
