This weekend marks the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic.
Just before midnight on April 14, 1912, on her maiden voyage to New York, the vessel hit an iceberg and sank.
1,572 people died, 82 of them Canadian.
Alan Hustak has updated his book, "Titanic, the Canadian Story," and says that each generation has taken a different lesson from the ship.
"In 1912, it was really a morality lesson. It was retribution, God's retribution for man's hubris, it operates on a number of levels," said Hustak.
"In the 1950s, it kind of reflected the atmosphere of the 50s. Then the whole scientific endeavour, Cameron's movie comes along, and yet another spin is put on the Titanic story."
