Notes: Eunan tied this one of a kind streamer to commemorate the sinking of the great ship Titanic 100 years ago. Each element of the fly has some significance. The colors of the throat, body and tail were chosen for the hull of the ship. The long sweeping white goose in the throat signifies the white lateral stripe just below the open decks. The JC, with 4 eyes for the 4 funnels. The silver tag and rib for the glamour of the maiden voyage. The white wing is for the clear cold night and smoke from the funnels and finally the topping for the lights of the ship.
