This grew out of my Down Da Road I Go Blog which now has become primarily what I'm doing and music. I was getting so much history in it, I spun this one off and now have World War II and War of 1812 blogs which came off this one. The Blog List below right has all the way too many blogs that I write.

Titanic Auction
Continued from previous post. //// A total of 180 lots were sold for more than $600,000. I am not sure if all the lots were Titanic related, but some of the others included a silver certificate from the head barber of the Titanic who survived brought in $35,193. //// A small piece of the ship's Grand Staircase went for $15,800. //// The Wallace Hartley letter, of course, went for $154,974 and topped the previous highest letter amount of $87,000 paid in 2004 for one from Father Thomas Byles, a Catholic priest. //// --Cooter
