- 🛑 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.

For those of you that missed the note I had put in the description box regarding the woman at the end:
🛑 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.
Such a sad story thank you for sharing Ron😊
Ron, thank you for another wonderful "faces of the Forgotten". Your photography and narrations make us all feel we are part of the story.
well we are rall walking down the sidewalk with Ron so... hey ron get me a cup of coffee will ya?
My God. The man fell into the crack of the sinking ship that cracked in half, the lifeboats that were sucked into the sea as the ship sunk, the woman who knows she will drown... How horrible. The sound effects of your story were excellent - all that wind! The cemetery was very well kept - and then, sadly, the cracked plate of the subject of your story - the Gallier Monument. Thank you for the telling of this story. 🙂
As I said before, Ron, this is truly your place to shine, your storytelling is wonderful ❤
I love NOLA! I read about the Gallier house that was very modern for it's time! Love your tour! 💖🙏
I absolutely love New Orleans. The food is my favorite. I love the music, architecture and the culture.
That city is pure enchantment! Loved it when we visited there!!
Seriously only one passenger survived, the rest was crew and the captain 👩✈️, wow. Another great story Ron, tragic though. RIP ato all that perished.
We just can't begin to imagine the terror they must have felt in those desolate, angry seas, while awaiting their imminent fate. 😞 May they rest in peace.
Oh my goodness, I know what you’re saying I would have been terrified. And on a personal note to you you have my mom’s name.
I've enjoyed this series so much Ron. I live near Baton Rouge now and never really get down to New Orleans anymore, family has either died or moved away, so this was a treat.
Very sad but informative history..so many shipwrecks and their victims don't get remembered as do the big stories like Titanic..a touching tribute to a great man and the beautiful city of New Orleans.. I have only been there once, but really want to go again..I will visit Royal street and this monument if I do..thank you Ron for all that you do.
Beautiful cemetery Ron and as usual outstanding story telling.
I've watched (tried out) a lot of similar channels and I must say I always come back to yours. Everything is perfect. I understand the difficulties one sometimes faces with weather and wind, etc. But you manage to make it work better on your channel than any other channel I've personally watched. If you ever tire of doing this, a lot of people will be sad. Hopefully you will have continued inspiration to provide us with these wonderful and knowledge filled videos. So much gratitude is sent to you, from me, for all your hard work and extensive travels. You are very much appreciated.
Thank you - that’s a very very inspiring note.
What a sweet comment! I agree..👏🏼👏🏼♥️
Love watching your channel! I learn something new every time I watch. Your narrations, pace, and tone are top notch. I enjoy your humor, and audience interaction. Your wealth of life experience and knowledge of history. Keeps me coming back for more. Thank you so very much! 💖
Thank you for the very inspiring note, it makes a difference to hear back like this. Thank you again
Same feeling here❤
I cannot imagine being on that ship. Let alone waiting for it to go down. 😱 🙀 😢 What a story. Some of the crypts looked so beautiful and white. One you passed was such a shiny black. It's a shame some are falling apart. But with that weather it's amazing anything remains. 🙏
I Love history and that's why your channel is so Great!!!
You are the best storyteller! Thanks again for a great video!!
Just a riveting story, and to think of all of those souls who lost their lives, just traveling from New York to New Orleans! And I agree about the dismay. People would feel when the captain told them, I was lost! The captain obviously thought they deserved to know the truth. In my mind, it was a heroic decision to make. .
Blessings to them all 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
😢
The wrought iron porches and columns are so pretty. Vicksburg, MS, has some of that, too.
I just came on TH-cam haven’t been on it before and I found your faces of the Forgotten your stories are so good and sad Thank you for doing this I’ve learn a lot by you, your narrated is just awesome keep it going ❤❤ Thank you from Oregon
Glad you found us, welcome to our gang!!
I love the stories providing the background and history of those passed. I truly love your channel!
Thank you Ron for another interesting story. Some of those vaults looked like they needed major repairs and paint jobs. Take care.
From watching your videos, I have learned that every cemetery is different and special in its own way. As always your presentations are beautifully done❤
Great story Ron but very sad too. Ty for all you do Ron....Hope you are having a great vacation in Mexico!! 💕💕
Ron once again thank you for another fascinating story!! may they all RIP 🙏
Love it I'm a tour guide in New Orleans and this was very informative. Thank you ❤
Hello Ron I'm watching you from Tucson Arizona it's sure sad about all those people dying in the sea. Couldn't imagine how scared and terrified they all were. May they all rest in peace. Thank you for this story
Thank you for sharing this story, as it's very important for people to know of the past .May they all rest in peace 🙏.
Wonderful story telling, Ron. What a beautiful cemetery.

This was a wonderful rendering of a very tragic story. You helped to make it feel like I was there watching this disaster unfold. These journeys can be painful at times but are so important to be undertaken in order to understand the past.

WOW Ron what a fascinating story. Considering that I watched this episode while on a cruise ship. We are heading down to the southern Caribbean our final stop will be Aruba. Loved your editing you did 👍

FANTASTIC RON LOVE THE IRON WORK AND FRONT DOOR ON THIS STUNNING VICTORIAN HOME LOOKING FORWARD TO THE JOURNEY AND STORY RON. SOUNDING DEVASTATING 😮😮😢 HOW TRAGIC , WHAT ASAD DISASTER . THANKS RON ,I DONT KNOW HOW YOU DO IT ,BUT IM SO GLAD YOU BRING US THE HISTORY . DI DOWNUNDER🇦🇺🥲
Thank you, Ron, for another amazing presentation❤️ Have a beautiful week and we will see you next time ❤️
I'm really enjoying your music choices during this trip.
That is the house they use for the LaLaurie house in "American Horror Story." They also used it the new series for "Interview with the Vampire." The real Delphine LaLaurie house is on the corner (you passed it)... every time I go to New Orleans, I stay on Royal. I never knew this was an actual museum you could go in. I will have to check that out when I go back this summer!
Thank you for taking us along ❤️
I was there with my daughter a few years ago. Very interesting place, full of History. Regards from Tampa, Florida.
Fantastic presentation as always, Ron. I always look forward to new episodes and I’m still discovering older ones as well. Fascinating, and beautifully told! ❤️
Wow! Love your story telling and this lovely cemetery.
When my husband and I first met, we discovered that we both enjoyed dawdling in cemeteries, though he had more reason to like them, since he was from New Orleans. Your choice, here, of St. Louis N° 3 is where he first showed me the local cemeteries, since his grandparents are there. Their spot was one of the many labeled in Greek.
I could listen to your story telling for hours. Great music & pictures. Very interesting.
In the heart of NOLA, where spirits roam free,
Lies St. Louis Cemetery No. 3, a sight to see.
Amidst the tombs and the whispers of gloom,
Stands the Tomb of the Doomed, a tale of doom.
Part 22 of the trip, an eerie affair,
As travelers tread with cautious care.
Through the labyrinth of graves they wander,
In search of tales that make hearts ponder.
The Tomb of the Doomed, a sight to behold,
With cryptic symbols and stories untold.
Legends whisper of a curse so dire,
That lingers around like a funeral pyre.
What secrets lie within those ancient walls,
What spirits linger in its hallowed halls?
Part 22 of the journey, a chapter unknown,
In the annals of history, its mysteries sown.
So let us venture forth, with courage and might,
Through St. Louis Cemetery's eerie night.
For in the Tomb of the Doomed, secrets reside,
Waiting for those brave enough to abide.
It can be fixed if city officials would take the time to repair the Gallagher monument, looks like a clean break of the stone. RIP to the husband and wife. Love how you bring your stories to life, thanks Ron 😊
Very Interesting and Wonderful 👍👍👍, Thank you,Ron,👍🙏🙏
This was really good today. Thank you for the story.
This made me feel so sad, I can't imagine a more horrific and petrifying situation to be in, I have a fear of big waters so this was hard for me to watch but I did watch because I love the compassion when telling these stories of people that truly deserve to be remembered. Rip everyone who perished in this tragedy 😢🙏⚘️
Sad story, but very interesting!!!
Thanks for sharing with us!!👌👋🏻🙏🏻
Thank you for another great story..
Very interesting history. Great video! Thank you for sharing!
I loved the story. The way in which you told it created some very lifelike pictures in my mind. Death at sea is not the way to go. Thank you, Ron, for traveling the country for us and keeping so many souls alive. Blessings from Michigan.
I am ready to watch this new story can't wait
Ron, I'm originally from Hammond. But, in Ponchatoula there is a grave known as the witches grave in Whitmore cemetery. Next time your passing thru, stop by. I live in Sevierville Tennessee now, but I grew up there and all my life I was "raised" there.
right on
I wish I could repair all these broken monuments. Ron we really enjoy watching these with your narration. You said before you wouldn't do one that someone else has done. My wife and I think no matter who else may have done a location before yours will still be better.
The oceans hold tons of sunken ships....very interesting story.
Thanks for the great story,, really LOVE the NOLA cemeteries !
I love your travels to New Orleans. One of my favorite cities ❤
Ron thank you for this video I really do always look forward to your videos
Thank you Ron for the tribute to all those lost
I'm ready for another GREAT episode ❤❤
Thank you for sharing Ron ❤
Just added this to my list of places to visit in November! Thank you Ron! Let the adventures continue.
Very interesting.. Thanks Ron
I love these videos. I learn a lot of interesting things from watching them. The crypts look so white and clean they actually remind me of tiny houses.
I really like the way you laid out the presentation on this one. Especially loved the historical music. Great job.
Fabulous story ❤
That was the most beautiful cemetery I have ever seen!
Sad and terrifying at the same time. Thank you.
This is Awesome 👍 Thank you for sharing this story
Wow what a story! Way to go, Ron. Great job! 👍🏻👍🏻
What an interesting piece of History. Such a sad ending to a interesting ,productive man . Great video Keep Safe ❤Keep Well❤
Sunday evening escape, I feel as I was walking with you as you tell me the story , thank you so much ❤
I been missing you but trying to get caught up enjoy watching
Thank you for the entertainment and history all blended into one. Such unique videos.
Thank you for sharing🪦
So excited for this, Ron. I’ll watch it tomorrow! ❤
A fascinating story Ron from start to finish. The account of the sinking of the Evening Star was riveting , what a scary scene!! They went through terror for hours and then an awful end. You just hate to think of what they endured. Mr. Gallier was an accomplished man and I pray that he and his wife and all the victims of that tragedy are resting peace. Great story Ron thank you! 👏 👏 😊
Thanks for the inspiring note and I’m glad you enjoyed it!!
R. I. P. for the people that died on the Evening Star. I'm from N. O. & I never knew any of this stuff. This is 1 of the best kept up cemetaries here that I have seen. I'm wondering if when you did St. Louis Cemetary #1 did you cover Marie Laveau??
yes, St Louis no. 1 - I did it 2 years ago here
Wonderful story. Beautiful cemetery. Thank you.
Even today I will not get on a ship. The sea is treacherous and the ships can always fail even if by contaminating illnesses. I have a horrible fear of masses of water and height. Just looking at the drain lid of a pool brings up this fear. I don't know if we reincarnate since the Catholic religion says no but I feel my fears are from a past life.
Today's ships look so beautiful but I just can't do🤷🏼👍🏼
That house you show at the beginning I believe was the same one they used in the opening of the Elvis movie King Creole. He stands on the second floor balcony and sings crawfish.
Fantastic story and a fantastic channel! I'm quite a new subscriber and have been going through all the past videos and loving every one. Exceptional storytelling!
Welcome aboard!
What a very sad story 😢😢😢.Thank you Ron .My all those lost soul's R.I.P .❤❤
I can't even imagine the horror of knowing that this is the way you're going to die. Ron, no one can tell a story the way you do, very captivating!
That is a lovely cemetery Ron,
Thanks Ron for another great story 👍
Stay safe out there.
Thanks Ron❤
Great another Sunday evening with ya'll while in Arizona!
Wow. That cemetery when you entered reminds me of alot of cemeteries in Ireland with the rock or cement around them. I think I heard you call them cradle graves
What a beautiful place.
4:18 Woodmen of the World monument. It's very distinctive in the wall of mausoleums surrounding it.
I wish i still lived close by New Orleans. Still lots of popular stories there.
See you in a few, never knew about this so it will be a pleasant surprise,Ron.
Hey Ron, your lucky being there! i thought that street looked like it was in New Orleans... but not far i guess anyway.
i dont want to cite pop culture ref's, but those buildings remind me of the game Red Dead redemption 2 in a fictional city called Saint Denis (pronounced, San Deni), and that witch season from American horror story.
Not sure why, but i prefer some american historical places, to european or british.
I learned something, thanks!
Didn't make it to the debut but watching replay!
Such a sad story. I pray soneone fixes the vault. It would be a shame if it was allowed to fall apart.
Beautiful place. Crazy story. What did they think would happen sitting on a lifeboat as the ship went down? Stay safe down south❤️
Some of these tombs are more than 200 years old from the revolution Era or earlier and still in relatively good shape
