Almost everyone is familiar with the heroic actions of the Titanic Orchestra that played on while the passengers attempted to escape the sinking ship. Survivors testified to the meaningfulness of the band’s sacrifice. All 14 went down with the ship. The leader, Wallace Hartley, played the violin and newspapers at the time reported it was found strapped to his body. After seven years of extensive testing, a violin returned to his fiancee in 1913 has been authenticated as the one Hartley played as he faced certain death. Moving story and a testimony to bravery and compassion.
