Hi Listers, I have in my possession, a framed docutment of burial at Sea, from the CUNARD ship lines, dated 1909. Its a map of the Atlantc Ocean ( in balck and white ) has lines of Latitude,Longitude, and distance traved in miles, weather conditions. It marks quite clearly the committed site. Top of the map is this: R.M.S. <ROYAL MAGISTRY SHIP>" CAMPANIA" ...New York to Liverpool. Sailed 10, February 1901. J. T. W. CHARLES,R.N.R., Commander.
