I am sure this is something everyone knows, but you never know if you don’t ask. I would like to know what the difference is between stokers, firemen, trimmers, and engineers? They all seem vaguely the same to me. It would make research and understanding easier if I knew the difference...

Do we have any idea what this note said? Bell told Smith it would be done as quickly as possible. A few mins later they open all the watertight doors, and all the engineers end up in boiler room 4. What were they up to?

Would appreciate any information at all on this man. Does his name appear on any 'disputed' crew lists? Thank you, John

I’m writing I guess you could call it a historical nonfiction story, I guess. It’s about the officers on the Titanic. I’m writing it like they are telling the story. I’m not just centering on what they did while she was sinking but what there day to day life was while on the ship. I’m starting...

I was always told that my great grandad, who was James Murray, was chief engineer on the Mauritania. He was born in 1850 and the last photo I have shows him in Cunard uniform with 4-rings. I suppose he's just about the right age to have been on the ship on its record breaking trips. Can anyone...

In several of the Unknown cards-notice is given as deceased was probably "ENginner". Now granted the brief discriptions of some of the unknowns--did the Titanic have so many enginers that's its impossible to try to match descriptions on unknown cards with known vitals of Titanic Enginners?

I wonder if anyone could help me in my research into an Electrical Engineer on Suevic in 1915 called Douglas Buchanan. I am also wondering about how to find the passenger list in the same year? Any ideas please? Thanks! Vicky

In the Hoehling's Last Voyage of the Lusitania, one of the surviving engineers said that he saw Chief Engineer Archibald Bryce in the area where the torpedo struck, right before the attack, implying that Bryce was killed by the torpedo/secondary explosion. In Diana Preston's book, she has...

Does anyone know if Leonard Hodgkinson is mentioned in any of the various accounts of the disaster? He was born in Stoke on Trent and I have a few details of his early life, but would like to flesh his life story out a bit more if possible. Also, as fourth engineer what would his duties have...

Hi, wonder if anybody can help me. I am looking for Arthur BRYAN (nickname Mortboys) who was an engineer on the Titanic, for my family tree. I know he was on the Titanic because my great grandmother had a letter and compensation. The only problem is I cannot find him on any crew lists, I have...
