They famously performed music on deck as the passengers abandoned ship, and it is reported that the final piece heard that evening was ’Nearer, My God, to Thee’. Around 1500 passengers and crew lost their lives that evening, including all eight musicians of the Titanic. The violinist in the band, John Law “Jock“ Hume (9 August 1890 - 15 April 1912) was 21 years old. He is buried in grave 193 at Fairview Cemetary, Halifax,
