O Captain! My Captain!

I first saw Captain Edward John Smith, the Captain of the Titanic, http://www.encyclopedia-titanica.org/titanic-biography/edward-john-smith.html on Friday, having lunch at Ruby’s Diner in Redmond Town Center. So I followed him back to his ship where he began to tell me about a Mr. Joseph Phillippe Lemercier Laroche, the only black man on the Ill fated voyage. http://www.encyclopedia-titanica.org/titanic-biography/joseph-laroche.html. I asked him to pose for this picture. He didn’t smile, so neither did I. This is serious business.
