Several people recognized the recent Mystery Photo. First in was Lou Camerio of Lawrenceville: “Fairview Lawn Cemetery in Halifax, Nova Scotia.” He’s right. Then came Alexis Stryker of Lawrenceville: “The mystery photo is of the graves of some of the recovered victims of the HMS Titanic at the Fairview Lawn Cemetery in Halifax, Nova Scotia. I was just there in July! That was a really interesting piece of history to see.”
Another person from Lawrenceville, Terra Bullock Winter, wrote: “We visited the cemetery a few years ago while on a Canada/New England cruise. I’m not sure that going to see the Titanic Cemetery was the best idea while on a cruise vacation, especially as Hurricane Arthur was heading toward our cruising path.”
Bob Foreman of Grayson contributed: “You had that photo in GwinnettForum earlier this year. It is the Titanic graves in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.” (Boy, how we forget!—eeb)
