Still Waters Posted August 22, 2013 #1 Share Posted August 22, 2013 An eerie song that helped children on a Titanic lifeboat block out the cries of the dying can be heard once again. The song came from a musical toy pig that belonged to Edith Rosenbaum, an American fashion journalist, who was 32 at the time of the tragedy. Rosenbaum and her pig survived the sinking in April 1912, but unfortunately the mechanism that played the music didn’t. Now the National Maritime Museum has fixed the musical toy and made a recording of the song 101 years after the event. http://www.dailymail...ded-repair.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlanB Posted August 22, 2013 #2 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Pretty amazing, but imagine how much more amazing it would've been if after they fixed it, it started playing Slayer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skep B Posted August 23, 2013 #5 Share Posted August 23, 2013 (edited) If the song isn't "rock the boat" I'll be disappointed and disappointment was experienced. Edited August 23, 2013 by SkepticalB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
