BRANSON, Mo., -- Just under 600 Christians marked the precise moments 100 years ago when Titanic struck an iceberg and sank during a showboat gala hosted aboard the Branson Belle late last Saturday. The evening cruise on Branson's Table Rock Lake was the capstone of Titanic 100: An International Centennial Event, a 4-day commemoration hosted April 12-15 that honored the "women and children first" legacy of Titanic, as men and boys willingly gave their lives for women and children when the great ocean liner foundered on April 14, 1912. It was the largest, distinctively Christian multi-day Titanic memorial event in the world, and the only one of its kind specifically dedicated to furthering the principle of "women and children first."
