Re: Unknown Child
heres the words
"unknown child" they put on your grave
a little life lost by that bitter cold wave
In the arms of an angel, you left this life
saved from this world full of trouble and strife
Your mother was already waiting for you
her angel winged babe who was not yet two
your face lit up and you gave a big grin
your life as an angel would now begin
through mist, you saw a heavenly bliss
you ran to you mama and gave her a kiss.
everyone on earth thought your secret would remain
but 91 years later, we found out your name
Eino Panula, a sweet little boy
who loooks down from heaven with a smile of joy.

Re: Unknown Child
A nice fitting tribute to one of Titanics particularly sad tales. I was so pleased that his name has been found out. I knwow that some will disagree at how it was done. But at least he is no longer just a number. Who among us would want our ancestors to remain unknown? Especialy a child?

Re: Unknown Child
I wouldn't. i am glad he found his name.
i have noticed that alot of titanic buffs are treating the situation as if they have some kind of un-explained claim on the baby.
it was a personal request from the family of Gosta Palsson, they wanted to know if it was him. the whole thing was filmed and put on TV at a later date.
they needed to find living maternal relatives of each candidate and it happened to be Eino. it;s not like they all just got up one day and said "hey lets go dig up the unknown child and see if we can identify him"
some people think he should remain a mystery, and i respect their views but IMO its a bit selfish, he was somebody's baby and somebody's family and they had a right to know.

I agree. No need to add to that.
