Oh, yes Sir, I can boogie… but I need a certain song.

Where, when, how? What lies beneath, what filled the hold, how many survived, where were they headed and who took the picture? Indeed, is it old or just clever? There’s no 24-hour news service unravelling this mishap, no twittered gasps, no newsflash updates. Just calm, imagination and the distance to wonder.
