"Life is a long lesson in humility" - James M. Barrie
My great grandfather had been considering getting a berth on the maiden voyage of RMS Titanic. He had gone overseas to visit Belgium, but stayed somewhat longer than he had intended, and took a later ship.
There are some news clippings from shortly after the disaster where he was interviewed. Had he gone down with the Titanic it would not have affected his offspring - he had already fathered his 10 children before traveling to Europe.
Cool bit of family history.
