LOUISIANA, Mo. — Rebecca Dempsey and her eight-year-old daughter, Ella, of Louisiana look over cards with the names of Titanic passengers at the Louisiana Area Historical Museum on April 15. The date was the 111th anniversary of the ship’s sinking. The museum highlighted the role of Louisiana’s May Birkhead in providing first-hand accounts of Titanic survivors. Ella, who wore a t-shirt that reflected her interest in Titanic, chose the name of a passenger who survived.
