The White Star Line built just three Olympic-class luxury class ocean liners. The RMS Olympic suffered a major collision with the cruiser HMS Hawke months after its maiden voyage in 1911 but survived to have a long career. The RMS Titanic, well, was the RMS Titanic. The RMS Britannic was turned into a hospital ship for World War I. It sank in 1916 after hitting a German mine. Violet Jessop was there for all three disasters — as a stewardess on the Olympic and Titanic when it sunk, and as a nurse on the Britannic. She died in 1971.

Here’s an example of what he played. We think.

Kate and Amy Elliot are twins living in Waterford, Ireland. Amy was born June 1, 2012 four months premature. Kate was born 87 days later in the usual 36th week of pregnancy. It should be noted that Amy was born in the 23 week and if she lived in the United States would have had no legal protection due to the powerful and profitable abortion lobby.

Did you ever eat gruel? It’s actually something you drink rather than eat. It is a cereal boiled in water or milk. Malt is gruel. If you ever drank Ovaltine, you’ve had gruel.
Porridge is also cereal boiled in water or milk but thicker. Have you ever eaten that? Oatmeal is porridge, as is Cream of Wheat. Yes, you probably have eaten porridge.
