Focusing on the aftermath of the Titanic disaster, the narrative highlights Halifax, Nova Scotia, as the pivotal location for recovery efforts following the sinking on April 15, 1912. The city played a crucial role in retrieving 337 bodies, with 209 eventually brought to Halifax, where 150 were buried in local cemeteries. This book explores the enduring legacy of these graves, which represent the largest collection of Titanic-related burials globally and continue to attract thousands of visitors annually, reflecting the tragedy's lasting impact on history and culture.
