Overview | Location

I know what you're thinking: Why would I want to visit a cemetery? Well, there's a good reason for it. This cemetery stands as the final resting place of 121 of the victims of the Titanic, many of them never identified. One particularly popular grave that pulls in many visitors is that of J. Dawson, the person who Leonardo Di Caprio's character in the hit film, Titanic, is based on.

Known as "Jock", he was a violinist in the ship's orchestra. One of the prominent headstones of the unidentified Titanic victims at Fairview is for an unidentified child found at the site of the wreck, and the only child for whom a body was recovered. As no one claimed the child, he was buried with funding from the sailors of the recovery ship which found him.

Ultimately, the identity of this child was determined in early November 2002 using DNA evidence. The child, his mother, and four brothers all died in the Titanic disaster.

This cemetery can be found at 3720 Windsor St.
