"There is a little bit of excitement and a little bit of trepidation to be on the ship outside at night with the chaplain conducting a Christian ceremony to honor the deceased that came from all walks of life," Tom Byron says.
"To be out there and know that 100 years ago, they were not doing what we will be doing; that they were wondering how much longer they had left to live ... it's overwhelming actually."
While not everyone would go to these lengths to mark a historic disaster, it's human nature to be interested.
While I think the Titanic's story is just an interesting as the next person. I do not know how I would feel about being at the exact spot at the same time that the ship hit an iceberg and so many people lost their lives. History is very interesting, but if for some odd reason history was to repeat itself. I for one do not want to be a part of it.
