Spring greetings! Many profuse apologies on the delay in updates these past few months. The nature of my work often requires me to hustle all the time (and I mean ALL the time), so it’s not uncommon to find me working all the way up to bedtime. 😔 For those of you who have met me or know me personally, I haven’t even really been able to spend much time on Facebook anymore, hence why I hardly ever post anything these days.
So it’s not that I haven’t been interested in this project for a while, it’s mostly that time is limited in how I am able to spend it. Indeed, I do have many dreams in how I see the site progressing and what to add next, edit, improve, and move around. Those will include corroborating different versions of survivors stories as told by different sources and going back to the source material for quite a few things and making sure that the information provided here is the most accurate.
I know a few of you have returned to Ireland this spring for anniversary 101 and I certainly look forward to hearing from you about your stories and seeing pictures from this year’s trip. (There’s already quite a few floating around on the net and I’m jealous) I have to save a bit this year and work is already going to be sending me overseas in the next few months, so I hope to be able to catch you all in the get together for anniversary 102 next May!
I’ll probably put up another post on the 7th to commemorate the date of the actual anniversary if I have content. Until then, be excellent to each other!
Thank you so much for this site. My great grandparents were on the Lusitania, and it has been fascinating to read about their experiences, especially to share with my children, and their teachers. The links to my great grandfather’s heart breaking court testimony were priceless.
