Today is April 15, the 112th anniversary of when the RMS Titanic sank off the coast of Newfoundland. The disaster killed one of Canada’s most influential business leaders at the time, Charles Melville Hays. It would also kill large numbers of immigrants who were enroute to stops in Canada, and Canadians would end up monopolizing efforts to process the immense numbers of corpses left in the sinking’s wake. The director of the blockbuster 1997 film about the disaster also happens to be Canadian James Cameron, who named the movie’s antagonist after the Ontario communities of Caledon and Hockley.
