🌊🕊️ The Titanic’s Unknown Child

When the Titanic slipped beneath the Atlantic on April 15, 1912, it carried more than 1,500 souls into darkness. Six days later, the crew of the cable ship Mackay-Bennett pulled from the icy waters the body of a small, fair-haired boy. With no name to guide them, he was recorded only as Body No. 4 — one of the countless lives lost that night. ⚰️❄️
In Halifax, Nova Scotia, the child was laid to rest beneath a simple stone engraved with just two words: “Unknown Child.” For nearly a century, his grave became a symbol of grief too vast to measure. Visitors came from around the world, leaving flowers 🌹, toys 🧸, and whispered prayers for the little one whose story remained unfinished.
Then, science gave back what history had taken. Through DNA testing, the boy’s name was restored: Sidney Leslie Goodwin, just 19 months old — the only member of his family ever recovered from the sea. 🧬💔
In 2007, a new plaque was placed at his grave, transforming sorrow into remembrance. No longer the “Unknown Child,” Sidney is honored as the beloved son he truly was — a reminder that even in tragedy, every life deserves to be remembered. 🕯️🕊️
