The RMS Titanic sank 109 years today, in the early morning of April 15th, 1912. Below, we present one of the littler known aspects of the disaster, and an epic case of hard sleeping. Every Titanic survivor remembered the screaming. Fifteen hundred people all plunged at once into waters that were minus two degrees Celsius, and begged for help in the 30 to 40 minutes that it took them to die. One survivor, Frank Goldsmith, was never again able to attend a baseball game because the roar of the crowd reminded him of the wails that night.

March 16, 1618
Irish Jesuit educator Richard Archdekin was born in Kilkenny on this day in 1618, to parents Nicholas Archdekin and Ann Sherlock. He first studied the classics and philosophy before moving to Louvain. There, he became a student of Theology, entering the Society of Jesus at Mechlin in 1642. For six years, Father Archdekin taught humanities. He went on to become a professor of philosophy, moral theology, and Holy Scripture. He died in Antwerp on August 31, 1693. Archdekin was proficient in the Latin, Irish, English, and Flemish languages. His works often contained anecdotes connected with the history of Ireland, which served as examples in support of his theological doctrines.
