Titanic Remembrance Day Falls on World Art Day?🚢🎭

Every April 15th

Every April 15th

I saw the play 'The Last Ship' on April 14th and realized that the Titanic hit an iceberg on that date and then sank on April 15th.

The Glasshouse Theatre

'The Last Ship' isn't a play about the Titanic though; it's about a fictional ship called the Utopia.

But according to a kind of an AI search (and I don't use AI ... Google tends to feed you AI searches, whether you want them or not) the Utopia was also a ship that in 1853, transported immigrants to Australia, specifically Queensland.

"The 1st Immigrant Ship to sail directly from Plymouth, England 23 July 1862 to Keppel Bay, Queensland on 6 November 1862, Rockhampton, Queensland on 11 November 1862 with 324 "hand-picked" immigrants.

The immigrants were primarily of English and Scottish descent with a few from Ireland."

The Glasshouse Theatre

'The Last Ship' was the first musical to be performed in The Glasshouse Theatre in the Queensland Performing Arts Centre complex and is right up the road from the old South Brisbane Dry Dock, which is now the Queensland Maritime Museum.

To me personally, the word "Glasshouse" reminds me of the Glass House Mountains in Queensland.

"On 17 May 1770, the hills were named the "Glass House Mountains" by explorer Lieutenant James Cook. The peaks reminded him of the glass furnaces in his home county of Yorkshire."

So, was it just a coincidence, or a synchronicity that I saw 'The Last Ship' on April 14th?
