If, like me, you’ve been fascinated by the Titanic since they found the final resting place back in 1985 the Encyclopaedia Titanica could be the very place for you!
I stumbled upon this by accident recently whilst doing some research. I’ve read quite a few books over the years, many of them not very satisfying in detail, but the detail on this site is amazing. It could potentially be really useful to you as a genealogist also. Have any of your relatives disappeared on or around 1912? There are passenger and crew and survivor and fatality lists here amongst other things.
I like what they have achieved in giving both the poor and the rich that were on the ship as much of a face as possible, with photographs, family details and what possessions they were carrying that fateful night.
It’s funny, when they found the ship I was delighted by the idea of it being raised and any remains being put to rest, or belongings returned or preserved. Over time, my wish is now to leave it in peace.
It is, anyway, a most engrossing site.
Which Grand Duchess Would YOU Be?
It really is a great site Just the sort of thing that makes the internet worthwhile
Thank you for this link. I have an ancestor who died on the Titanic and had never investigated the web. This is a fascinating site and I could spend hours there!
Yes, it’s really well done Jams. I’m glad it’ll be useful Jean! I’ve been thinking I should post about it for a while now.
Hi, as I searched your web site I see you’ve already found my YouTube Video. To answer some of your questions the book I used is just and old Scotland book I’ve had laying around here for years. I only had a few pictures to make a complet story – for the indenture I have. I used pictures of Scotland, not just “Castle Fraser”. I didn’t know it was called this way before I saw your web site, now I know. Sir Vicary Gibbs was his brother-in-law and his children including Charles stayed with him and his Aunt for awhile. That is the information I found in many hours of research. If I was to do it over I would have called it by the correct name and probably ask your advice about some other events and so on. Anyhow nice site – David
