I’m not “into” the Titanic the way other people who are really into it are (like the dudes who did not survive the submersible incident), but this is an interesting story featuring handwritten accounts of the disaster that I’ve never heard before: The tragic tale of Masabumi Hosono, the Japanese Titanic survivor who was ostracized for not going down with the ship
collaged images of sole Japanese Titanic survivor and his handwritten account of the disaster
It makes me wonder what, if anything, the guys in the submersible might have written down before the whole thing imploded.
We’ll never know.
What would you consider more shameful? Being this Japanese guy who chose to live instead of going down with the Titanic? Or being one of the adults who went down and died in that homemade toy all these years later to try to ogle its remains?
