No Titanic question? Also, I never realised how many significant events happened on this particular day.

There was a Titanic question on the previous quiz (April 14th), I didnt want to repeat myself. LOL. I agree about the number of events, the 15 questions each day only represent around a quarter of the actual events I've found.

Thanks for commenting and taking my quiz.
