Titanic Sinks!
‘Indestructible’ ship hits iceberg More than 1,500 killed on ship’s Reflecting on the 100th anniversary maiden voyage Toledoans Among Missing
By Jeff McGinnis Toledo Free PRESS POP CULTURE EDITOR news@toledofreepress.com
Local artist Ralph Henry has spent years chronicling the maiden and final voyage of the most famous ship in history. Working in colored pencil, Henry has drawn more than a dozen portraits of the Titanic — depicted everywhere from the docks at Southampton, England, to its final resting place at the bottom of the sea. His works have been displayed in various locations around the area since 2006, most notably in a regular exhibit at the Lucas County Fair. But as the great ship’s voyage came to a sudden end, so too will Henry’s work in tribute to it.
