Titanic gallery

It’s Titanic Day today. Yes, it’s 100 years since the sinking of the great ship which hit an iceberg.

As I’ve noted in this photo-blog before, north Staffordshire people have an interest in the event because the unfortunate skipper of the ship, Captain Edward Smith, was born in Stoke-on-Trent.

One place that will no doubt be commemorating this day in style is The White Star pub in Stoke town.
The White Star (the name of the shipping line that the Titanic belonged to) is run by Titanic Brewery, which is itself based in the city. The pictures in this photo are part of the White Star pub’s 'Titanic gallery'.
