Irish Jesuit snapped iconic photographs of doomed liner


Francis Browne, soon to be a priest, sailed on RMS Titanic
Browne's last photo was of the Titanic leaving Cobh (Queenstown), Ireland, April 12. He had been left behind.
Last month mariners remembered a solemn date that evokes a grim reminder of the cruelty of the sea. In the wee hours of April 15, 1912, the "unsinkable" RMS Titanic sank to the bottom of the Atlantic. For full story see The B.C. Catholic website.
