I don't know if this is genuine, or perhaps it is a well-known photo, the caption with it is "Passengers Preparing to Board the Titanic." A postcard version of it was sold by Henry Aldridge & Son some years ago. Can anyone identify any possible passengers?

Hi, Wondered if anyone knows if a final photo of the Guarantee Group boarding Titanic just before she sets sail was really taken, like at the end of the documentary drama 'Titanic Birth of a Legend'? Would love to see that if a photo does exist. Also would someone confirm the number of men in...

Where were the passenger gangways situated?

I was inspired to ask this question after seeing a scene in the Family Guy episode Stewie, Chris, & Brian's Excellent Adventure in which the three characters mentioned in the episode title end up on the Titanic during their time-traveling adventure. In the episode, the three title characters...

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...

Dear Respected Researchers, Posted below is the embarkation list of alien passengers embarking from Southampton, but this list only includes Chinese passengers and a man surnamed Ford, who is traveling as 44 people. I'm trying to figure out a few things regarding this list. Any feedback would...

One of my books about Titanic features a letter written by Second Class passenger, the Reverend John Harper, on April 2nd, 1912, informing friends that his passage on the Lusitania had been cancelled. The crucial part of the letter reads: "... I am to be in Walworth - God willing - after all...

I have been trying to discover how many and who boarded Titanic at Cherbourg via the tender SS Nomadic. I believe 274 boarded, and Nomadic is credited with taking them all (including 102 3rd class despite being designed primarily for the 1st & 2nd class passengers). However i am told that...

Where were boarding stairs after boarding? I have heard somewhere that the stairs were pulled into a ship. But I can not imagine how somebody carrys the stirs through first class reception room or through hall on B-Deck or some other corridors. I think they were pulled out and stayed in a port...

It now appears to be universally accepted that Colonel JJ Astor and his young wife Madeline got on board the Titanic at Cherbourg, France and not at Southampton as was originally supposed. But did they? The original Southampton supposition was largely accepted on the 'evidence' of the famous...

...on behalf of my dressmaking wife, can anyone please help us with an up to date resourse for some form of the dreaded purple/black/navy/whatever pinstripe fabric for the movie 'Boarding Suit'? Thanks! Costumes at- http://www.ellieandmike.co.uk

I just saw a Titanic model at the "Titanic Science" exhibit in Richmond, VA. It had a small set of stairs on the hull on the starboard side of the ship under the wing bridge at about E deck level. It looks like these might have been removable stairs for boarding purposes--perhaps to let the...

Hi, It's ironic that the post below is discussing the last film footage of the Lusitania. I now work for the Scottish Screen Archive and came across a film of the Scots Music hall entertainer taking the boat train from London Euston to Liverpool where he and hisentourage board the Lusitania...

Hey all, I've always wondered what procedure the Titanic's passengers would have followed before they boarded the ship. I mean was the White Star Terminal in Southampton in any way like a modern international airport? Was there check-in desks with conveyor-belts? Was there passport-control? Was...
