🛑 NOTE - There is no surviving photograph of the Italian Prima donna who went down in the last moments of the sinking, so Lulu White, the famous black owner of New Orlean’s most notorious brothel “Mahogany Hall”, which was at it’s height later on in the 1890’s, has made a special appearance for us to stand in to help portray that final fateful moment.

THIS STORY:
James Gallier Senior was a prominent nineteenth-century Irish-born American architect, most famed for his buildings in New Orleans. On 3 October 1866, James and his second wife Catherine were passengers on board the Evening Star, a paddle-wheel steamer en route from New York City to New Orleans, when it sank in a hurricane about 175 miles east of Savannah, Georgia.

THESE TOURS:
The Historic Cemeteries of New Orleans are historically and culturally distinctive in that they are an amalgam of the French, Spanish, and Caribbean historical influences on the city of New Orleans in addition to limitations resulting from the city's high water table. The cemeteries reflect the ethnic, religious, and socio-economic heritages of the city.
Architecturally, they are predominantly above ground tombs, family tombs, civic association tombs, and wall vaults, often in neo-classical design and laid out in regular patterns similar to city streets. They are at times referred to colloquially as “Cities of the Dead”, and some of the historic cemeteries are tourist destinations.

The Angel face you see is the Haserot, named “The Angel of Death Victorious". The stoic angel is seated on the marble gravestone of canning entrepreneur Francis Haserot and his family. Holding an extinguished torch upside-down, it represents a symbol of life extinguished. Wings are outstretched and the gaze is straight ahead.
IN THE END, DEATH ALWAYS WINS. LEST THE FACES NOT BE FORGOTTEN...
This channel is focused on casually walking and viewing a handful of the thousands of forgotten names and faces at various cemeteries near and afar. Seeing their faces up close. And when able, telling the stories behind their names.
Most graves are unknown and lost to history.
Some are famous.
And some infamous....
....and some with tragic endings.
