Description of Subject Matter: The Titanic Memorial is dedicated to those who died when the famous oceanliner hit an iceberg on April 15, 1912. There are two inscriptions:
"To the brave men who perished in the wreck of the Titanic April 15, 1912. They gave their lives that women and children might be saved. Erected by the Women of America"
""To the young and the old, the rich and the poor, the ignorant and the learned, all who gave their lives nobly to save women and children"
The sculpture was done in 1931 by Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney. She lost her brother, Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, when a German U-boats sunk the Lusitania in 1915. Later, she would donate her fortune and art collection to create New York's Whitney Museum of Art. The memorial is in Waterside Park which was created in 1967 to help revitalize the waterfront neighborhood.

2020 photos: Well, that was a year, wasn't it? The COVID-19 pandemic cut off most events here in DC after March 11. The child president's handling of the pandemic was a series of disastrous missteps and lies, encouraging his minions to not wear masks and dramatically increasing infections and deaths here.The BLM protests started in June, made all the worse by the child president's inability to have any empathy for anyone other than himself. Then of course he tried to steal the election in November. What a year! Equipment this year: I continued to use my Fuji XS-1 cameras but, depending on the event, I also used a Nikon D7000. The farthest distance I traveled after that was about 40 miles. I only visited sites in four states -- Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia and DC. That was the least amount of travel I had done since 1995. Number of photos taken this year: about 246,000, the fewest number of photos I had taken in any year since 2007.
