Titanic Graveyard Fairview Lawn Cemetery All the Tombs (Halifax Canada) How To Visit Guide
121 victims of the RMS Titanic sinking are buried at Fairview, many with named tombstones but also many unidentified. A baby's tomb was for nearly a 100 years identified as "The unknown child" was finally identified as Sidney Leslie Goodwin lost along with his whole family. The Gravestones are arranged in the shape of a ship with the 'Unknown Child' at the prow. People leave coins and mementoes on the tomb of the Baby Goodwin, I wish we had brought something. Girls used to leave flowers on the Gravestone of J Dawson imagining him to be the 'Jack Dawson' of the movie but we saw none. I've been a Titanic fanatic for many years so this was an important moment for me. The identification of the Baby Goodwin can down to a fleck in the DNA of the the babies who matched, there is a fascinating documentary on YouTube about this where it turned out that two babies matched the DNA of the tiny body in the grave because they had shared an ancestor in the past 1000 years and also because a Canadian Mountie couldn't bring himself to obey orders and burn the tiny shoes of the 'Unknown Child'. We had earlier visited the smaller Catholic Cemetery for Titanic victims and sadly had no time to visit the Jewish Cemetery. If you are interested in this sort of stuff there is a LOT to see in Halifax (Windy City) so reserve a couple of days.
