What does the world's most famous sailing vessel have to do with a cemetery in the Bronx? Much more, it turns out, than we may imagine.

- A passenger who smuggled his dog onto a lifeboat

- The stories of a sacrifice, a statue, and a sailor

- Sisters who were saved and reunited on Carpathia

- The morals of a mogul, a merchant, and a millionaire
