title: A tale of two nurses.
abstract: Two nurses were among the 2,200 crew and passengers on board the Titanic when it sank on its maiden voyage to New York on April 141912. Hospital matron Catherine Wallis, who worked with passengers in third class, was among the 1,500 people who died. Caroline Endres, the private nurse of a first-class passenger, survived. The familiar story of the sinking of the ship should not overshadow the personal tragedies, that still resonate with many families today.
