Tomorrow in History

There is a little known article of lore surrounding the sinking of the Titanic that most people do not know.  On the shipping manifest is listed 76,000 jars of mayonnaise.  The jars were to be delivered to Mexico City after the ship dropped off its passengers in New York.  Sadly, as we all know, the Titanic never finished its voyage across the Atlantic Ocean.

 

After learning of the disheartening news that the Titanic had sank. the people of Mexico City spent days in mourning and then commemorated a day to remember this tragedy.  They chose May 5th, tomorrow, now known as Sinko De Mayo.
