Gothic Arch Challenge - History

I was asked to host the Gothic Arch challenge this week and I am honoured to do so. I chose "History" as my theme and decided to create an arch based on the "Titanic" (feeding my obsession). Although the lady in the fur coat is not an actual passenger, the rest of the photos depict actual passengers and crew.
