The Festive Season

 I pick up where I left off yesterday. The Chateau Laurier started out as a railroad hotel. The president of that railroad was en route from Europe with his family and a large shipment of antique furniture for the opening when they hit a snag. The ship was the Titanic, and he was among those who died in the sinking. It's been said that his ghost haunts the hotel.


More of the trees.


A bust of the hotel's namesake is here, Prime Minister Laurier.


One more shot from today.

  1. 120 Swedes on the Titanic. I remember reading a long article about the ones that survived.
