On the 106th anniversary of the Titanic disaster, a Halifax woman reflected on her grandfather's role in ensuring some of the victims were laid to rest. Francis Dyke was just 20 years old when he sailed out from Halifax to help search for bodies. She said he trained in England and was working as the second electrician on the Halifax cable ship Minia when the disaster broke. Deanna Ryan-Meister, president of the Titanic Society of Atlantic Canada, said in an interview Saturday that it's important for every Nova Scotian to remember the Titanic disaster. Halifax is home to the largest Titanic gravesite in the world, with 121 victims laid to rest in Fairview Lawn Cemetery.
