Many people think that they know the story of Charles Joughin, the Chief Baker aboard Titanic. They know the story that he (and others) told about how he drank during the sinking and went down with the ship. They know how he claimed to have swam for "hours" in the water. They know how he claimed...

A Wirral baker went for a drink in his room on the sinking Titanic and survived hours in freezing waters. Charles Joughin, born in Birkenhead, was "one of the best paid crew members" as chief baker on the RMS Titanic, according to the National Archives. The passenger liner, operated by the...

Joughin said he had 13 bakers under his lead. So there are supposed to be 14 bakers, including Joughin. But, there are just 12 ET biographies of victualling crew bakers, including Joughin. Who were the other two? Or did Joughin get the number wrong?

I have wondered - for quite some time now - about the account of the baker and his interpretation of the sinking. If he rode the stern till the very end, wouldn't he have a testimony considering the breakup and what it might have been like to be aboard during the event? Please, I need...

I know this probably isnt so big but I consider it cool! I spoke to the guy who played the baker in JC's movie! I work for Marriott at a Reservations Sales Office and he called and made a reservations and we started talking he mentioned he was an actor and I have never made reservations for...

According to the crew on Mount Temple, they saw a small vessel, made from wood, with a black and white funnel. A few hours later the Carpathia, when at the scene of the accident at daybreak, reported seeing a similar ship, though it was now sailing away. A world wide search for this ship was...

I recently came across this work of art by a minor Australian writer. If Markus, Rolf and other friends don't understand it, blame the wonders of English spelling, not me! A FONETIC FANSY By W T Goodge The baker-man was kneading dough And whistling softly, sweet and lough. Yet ever...
