Commemorating the loss of 2,000 souls on a dark night in the middle of the north Atlantic to the depths of an ocean that was supposed to have no business welcoming the passengers of an unsinkable behemoth called the HMS Titanic, as well as the birthday of our host, Miles Hamby. For those friends who have faithfully attended more than three of his Titanic parties, a personally hand-made White Star Line lapel pin is graciously given by Miles. Several guests, as well as our well-appointed host, come decked out in dressy naval formal wear, closely resembling that worn by the crew of the great ship on its maiden, and only, journey.
