---------------------------
The Titanic had eight musicians onboard when it struck an iceberg on 14th April 1912. 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, Nova Scotia, Canada. He is remembered in a memorial in Dock Park (next to the bandstand which he performed on) in his home town of Dumfries, Scotland.
The memorial reads:
In memory of John Law Hume, a member of the band and Thomas Mullin, steward, natives of these towns who lost their lives in the wreck of the White Star Liner Titanic which sank in mid-Atlantic on the 14th day of April 1912. They died at the post of duty.
