crew

Hi, as stated in the post above I'm looking for any info in finding a crew member on the ollympic in March 1930. I have found an old Letter dating to my great x3 grandmother recording life events, with births deaths marriages ect. One sentence Reads " Tommy's first voyage on the Olympic was in...

There is a story, passed on through the generations of my family, that my Great Grandfather Henry 'Harry' Baylis was believed to have joined the crew of the Titanic under an assumed name and perished in the disaster. He went on the run from the Royal Navy in 1910 and disappeared. I wondered...

Hi all I'm looking for images of the Crew Agreement with the names in order of sign-on. Basically I'm trying to figure out the badge number for 1st class Bedroom Steward Alfred G. Crawford and the only info I can find is from this article: Identifying Stewards

It's clear from the bodies of crewmen recovered that a considerable number of the crew must have been trade union members. The three unions in question being the "National Sailors' and Firemen's Union", the "British Seafarer's Union" and the "National Union of Ship's Stewards, Cooks, Butchers...

Hi, guys. I'm trying to find some information in regards to the crews' – namely the victualling crews' – boarding process. I'm under the impression that most of the crew signed on on 6th April which, I believe, is when they would have shown their Continuous Certificate of Discharge and other...

I would like to know how third class passengers in the bow escaped the sinking. I heard that they had to go through Scotland road to the stern and there wait because they were not allowed to go to boat deck. Is it true? I mean, they had no choice of going to boat deck from the bow? I guess they...

Did anyone died in Boiler room 6 ??? Do some say they escaped the ladders some say they died?

I have quite few questions about the non-officer deck and victualling crews uniforms if I may. Recently I read an excellent run down of what the deck officers uniforms were here - Uniforms worn by Titanic's officers | William Murdoch Is there any surviving documentation as to what exactly what...

I came across a book called A Guide To The Crew of the Titanic by a Swiss man named Gunther Babler. The topic seems interesting but does anyone know if this book is any good? PS: I know that there is a lot of information on ET about every crew member but there is something to be said about...

We have read that a few men probably managed to get places on lifeboats by pretending to be women during sinking of the Titanic. What I want to know is was there any instance of a male passenger pretending to be a member of the crew in order to improve his chances of getting into a Titanic...

I’ve noticed something while looking at the deck plans about dining rooms/mess areas. Where did other crew members eat? I’ve put a list of the area where meals/drinks are served. 3rd class: The forward & aft 3rd class dining room A bar in the 3rd class open space on D Deck. I’ve never noticed...

Does anyone has the 17 names of the Titanic crew that stayed at the Sailors Home ???

Did the crew had any identification. Like a pass card to go anywhere ( Titanic Employee ) ??? Some people did work in the boiler room. Thank You.

What was the total number of crew victims of the Titanic?

What was the total number of crew survivors from the Titanic?

I've always found one of the the most powerful scenes in the 97 film is when Thomas Andrews shortly after reporting to the bridge crew and Ismay that 'No matter what you do Titanic will flounder' is walking through the Grand Staircase still in shock. Rose pulls him aside and he admits to her...

Is there a book out there with a complete passenger and crew list with biographies for the Lusitania? If not does anyone think it would do well?

Hello everyone, Last night while finishing reading the awesome book "On A Sea of Glass" I wondered where the crew used to sleep while the ship was in New-York? It seems obvious that that could be on the ship, but if we push the thought a little further, it becomes far less obvious : in winter...

I have been looking all over the internet to find a Titanic-costume and all I can find are clothes that were in the movie. I'd love to have a (somewhat accurate) costume of uniforms worn by crewmembers. My favourite would be a officer's uniform. I know they exist because I've seen photo's of...
