When James Cameron brought the story of the tragic sinking of the RMS Titanic to light, Rose and Leo had viewers reaching for the tissues. How does the sinking of the ship killing thousands and the death of the main protagonist in the most dramatic way leave out a tragic ending, you ask? Easy.
In the aftermath of the tragedy, there were many bones to pick, wills and testaments that needed settling, and lawsuits against the White Star Line. One of the standout tragic endings was the plight of the musicians, led by Wallace Hartley, who chose to ply their trade until their feet were wet with the chill of the Atlantic ice water. All eight musicians perished.
Shortly after the sinking, the father of John Hume, a cellist onboard the ship, received a note from an agency requesting the payment of 14 shillings and 7 pence owed to them for the attire rented and not returned. They refused to pay. A true ending that deserves to be drowned along with history
