Report of a fake survivor who claimed to have saved Titanic's log

The thread on "Vaghinak Byurat" has been closed for lack of true facts and in finding no listings of his name. However I came across a "Byurat Cultural Foundation" which has a biography of "Vaginak Byurat" (note the name is spelled without the "h"). It does have one line of that he was a...

Hello everybody, in Youtube you cand find many videos about Titanic, most with false information, but there are one called a Titanic survivor claims that the Titanic was not sunk by an iceberg, and talk about a man called Vaghinak Byurat traveling in cabin 804 with other 3 men, 2 british and one...

Just wanted to let you know that I have published a book I think you'll all enjoy reading called TITANIC IMPOSTERS. Debbie Beavis states there were over 7,000 people who pretended to be Titanic survivors, but were never on the ship. With help from Don Lynch, George Behe (who penned the foreword...

Hello and thank you for this great History site.I need to know and I have been trying for 7 years to find out if there was on board Mr Thomas Taverner or Tavner an apprentice cook (18-19 years old) on board The Titanic? I have been told that all the official names may never be accurate as there...

I have recently purchased a book about all the controversal things about Titanic and her passengers/crew, (and believe me, i will be posting more threads. I think it will be interesting.) and i have come to discover a large list of some false/unsure passenger that the Carpathia picked up as...

hello my question could be very silly but here we go, I know that Alfred Nourney, a second class passenger, that was transfered to first class appears on the passengers list as The Baro of Von Drachsted, he really was a baron? or he just "self-named" like this? Is the same case with Berthe...

I can't put my hands on my copy of ANTR, but if I remember correctly, Walter Lord interviewed someone whose named sounded like "Walter Belford", a crewman, yet I can't find his name anywhere. Was he an imposter or did Lord get the name wrong? Thanks. Dennis

On my way to Florida I needed a good read for the 15 hour drive so I checked out Don Lynch's "Titanic: an Illustrated History". It was a great book, gave great facts and I especially enjoyed Ken Marshalls paintings. On page 214, there is a section called "What ever happened to Loraine...

When I was a child, I had a neighbor who had been employed in the engine room on the Titanic when she sailed. He just happened to be on deck taking a break, when the ice berg was hit. Several years ago, my mother sent me a news article featuring him, and a man who was from the mail room. My...

Hello, my name is Colleen, and I am trying to find out if someone was actually a passenger on the Titanic. Unfortunately, I don't have too much background. The person in question was a neighbor when I was a child. Her (married) name was Bertha Herring. I really didn't know her at all, but...

In "A Night to Remember", Walter Lord talks about a passenger named Jay Yates, who was supposed to be a gambler ( pg 78 ). Does anyone know if this person is real, as I cannot find him on this site. Thanks for any info... Emily& G.W.

In the acknowledgements for 'A Night to Remember' Walter Lord thanks a survivor by the name of Harry Giles -- who on earth is this? I thought that it was possibly an anglicisation of one of the survivors' names. Can anyone clarify this? Secondly, Walter Lord credits Walter Belford. I know...
