  1. Hello! Thank you so much, Elizabeth, for taking the time to tell me about your Unsinkable blog. This is exactly what I have been searching for and hadn't discovered yet. I'm going to be immensely happy browsing through your posts, and oh, how I'd love to win your book giveaway! I do hope you'll return to my blog, as I am continuing my posts for at least another week or more. Now I must go read more of your Titanic facts!

    Blessings,
