Love it or hate it, Titanic has gone down in Hollywood history. The film is one of the highest-grossing of all time, was one of the costliest to make, and still has people talking more than 25 years later. It turned out to be an especially good financial decision for James Cameron, who majorly...

Hi everybody, my name is Sergio Ramos Pérez and I'm from Spain. I'm searching descendants of passengers and crew of the Titanic for a novel. Or descendats of passengers and crew of the Californian, Carpathia, of Harland & Wolff, whatever is. I'll upload the novel to Amazon in March. I want to...

Hello everyone! I was wondering what the shift schedule for a first class bedroom steward might be? I understand they served 3-5 rooms onboard, but were they expected to attend to these rooms constantly? Did one steward cover an assigned section of cabins at day and another take on these duties...

Hey everyone! I was exploring B deck in the demo of Titanic Honor and Glory (very promising, I'm excited to see it finished) and found 2 doors labeled crew only, one in each side of the deck. Upon looking at the deckplans, they seem to be just 2 corridors that have nothing inside them, and that...

Hi. I know the main hospital is not accessible but has the crew's surgery/hospital on c deck ever been explored? It's under the forecastle so it should be relatively intact. Thanks!

I want to know how the surviving British & Continental European crew of the Titanic - particularly the low wage sailors like firemen, trimmers, greasers etc - supported themselves (or were supported) while waiting to be allowed to return to the UK & Europe. Some of them wee even summoned to the...

Is there any records or lists that have been found of Crew Members and their specific assignments aboard the Titanic? For example, maybe which stewards were to cover which state rooms? Or which members had which badge numbers? Anything of that nature of similar could be of great use and help...

Hi, I just heard that the crew of the restaurant A La Carte Restaurant was retained in their cabins for some time and that’s why just the 2 cashiers survived. I know their cabins should be on E deck in Scotland Road but, which of the cabins was the one for them? Following the deck plans, there...

If this has been asked before than please forgive me and move it to where it belongs. Had the Titanic survived her maiden voyage, she was scheduled to return to Southampton from New York on April 20, and I assume arrive in Southampton on April 26. Would her next sailing then fall on April 30...

Hello, I hope I can explain this correctly. My query relates to the wages paid to Titanic crew. The National Archives BT 100/259, and referenced in ET, displays the wages as a monthly payment which I am struggling to grasp. Firstly, most transatlantic voyages did not last a month, therefore crew...

Maybe a question best asked to @Jim Currie however, I was wondering recently how the crew replaced their log books after Titanic went down. The seamans record woud have been their lifeblood containing ships that they have served on, performance records and experience. Without this document they...

Thought I would post here in case anyone else didn't know but Paul Lee has published a new book back in late April called "Titanic: The Homecoming; Tales From The Lapland." His new book details the SS Lapland's Eastbound Voyage from New York to Plymouth carrying the surviving members of...

There was a documentation yesterday in our TV about our french aircraft carrier and how the crew operate. They showed how they train for hull damage and it was interesting because the captain said the protocoll is completly to think rational, overlook the situation and fight the water pouring...

This may have been already covered previously. But I am just curious as to any comments or opinions. Which crews had the better lot in 1912 - WSL or RN ?

Hi all, Does anyone know why David Blair is not currently (10 Feb 2020) listed as part of the Belfast to Southampton Delivery Crew? Capt. Haddock IS on the list, so I can't understand why Blair isn't. A lot of those listed have 'Delivery Crew Only' noted, so I expected to see his name there. LL

There is a photo on this site of my great uncle Percy Bernard Barnett, Assistant Purser. Does anyone know who posted this, please? I can't decipher it. Does anyone know anything more about Percy Barnett?

Hi, folks. Does anyone know if there's an article on here that's lists the status of all crew members as to whether they were on or off duty at the time of the collision?

I know the question has been asked before, but I have to take another aim at this. General narrative is that because this department didn't have a mess, they would go into the pantries and get whatever they could get. Yet in "Guide to the Crew of the Titanic" by Gunter Babler, he mentions this...

Now we know that some crew served in capacities different from those in which they signed-on (e.g. John Collins signed-on as a scullion, but served as a cook; Tommy Knowles signed-on as a mess steward, but served as an engineering storekeeper; and James Johnston was originally going to be a...
