Titanic

Titanic, "The Unsinkable Ship", left Southampton on 10th April 1912, on its inaugural journey heading for New York. Such a magnificent ship... and we all know what happened to it.

On the evening of the 14th of April 1912 Titanic collided with an iceberg 925 km southest of Newfoundland (Terra Nova). On the early hours of 15th of April it was a shipwreck in the bottom of the ocean.

64 years later, on the 14th of April 1976 a girl was born in Lisbon.
Though she lives by the sea, she has never been on a cruise. But she has seen ships twice and three times bigger than Titanic.

64 years before about 2000 people perished at see in one of the most, if not the most, traggic accidents ever.
64 after that, a life continued. As in all the time in between. And 29 years after that too.
