OK, this will be the fifth attempt at uploading just one, simple picture. Taken in mid-March, this is the main Estonia Memorial in Tallinn, close to the port where the last voyage began.

This is a very good time to visit Grace Church in New York. The church is beautifully decorated with flowers for the Christmas holiday, and the organ that was in front of the Edith Evans memorial plaque has been removed, and for the first time in several years it can be clearly seen. The...

Today I travelled to Godalming and Farncombe in my home county of Surrey in S.E. England. In particular I visited the Jack Phillips Memorial Gardens and Cloister in Godalming, and the nearby village of Farncombe. The memorial at Godalming is the largest in the world to a single Titanic victim...

It is approaching the 89th anniversary of the Lusitania disaster, on 7th May 1915. Having just returned from a trip to County Cork, Ireland, I was very disappointed with the distinct lack of memorials to Lusitania in Kinsale, the nearest town to the scene of the sinking. Despite the fact...

I recently wrote the US Coast Guard to ask if they had changed the site the Ice Patrol left the wreath each year after they found Titanic's exact position, and thought people might be interested in their answer: Dear Lee: Thank you for your question on the Titanic memorial wreath ceremony...

Hi everyone - I've found this on the National Maritime Museum's website - it's an on-line catalogue of maritime memorials. They've got the Titanic biggies, of course, like Liverpool and Southampton, and they also have some really interesting ones scattered about the globe. They are obviously...

With the repository of photographs in the archives of TIS and help from friends, I hope to create this site as a memorial to Lusitania and Titanic passengers. I should be happy to include any photos ET members might like to share. A few new photos will go up each day- there are literally...

Back in July of 2002 I posted the story of a visit to Barbara Anderson McDermott. Thanks to people both here and in England, a great deal has been learned about the circumstances of her life and family, the whereabouts of her mother's and baby brother's grave - and many other little details...

I think there are some memorials for crew from Southampton who perished, on the Titanic but where are there some others. My brother said he saw one years ago in Wales. Can anybody help?

Following hard on the heels of the unveiling of the new Moody memorial plaque in Scarborough earlier this year, and anticipating another memorial commemorating one of the Titanic's deck officers that will hopefully be announced shortly, comes word from Richmond of recognition at last for the...

This may give some idea of yesterday's gathering at the Historical Society. There are three linked pages- graphic-rich, music, and will take a bit of time to load. I shall have some digital photos to post tomorow. It's 3:30 so off to bed...! http://www.revdma2.com/memorial.html

Titanic Memorial and Triple screw blades Hello to everybody, I had one idea for a Titanic Memorial that I would like to discuss with you. From what I have seen in pictures, the Main triple screw blade propellers of the Titanic, are still in quite good shape...

As I think I've mentioned in the past, there have been plans afoot for some time to erect a new memorial to James Moody in his birthplace, Scarborough. Thanks to the energy and talents of the Friends of HMS Conway (Moody trained in HMS Conway for his career in the mercantile marine), this...

Hello, A friend of mine is creating a website called "Titanic: Memories of a Lost Era." A part of the site will focus on the many memorials created to remember the Titanic and those who sailed and died on her. If anyone has any information on some less-known memorials (or more in-depth...

I am cataloging my somewhat imposing collection of magazines and am continually amazed at all the little bits and pieces of the "Titanic" story that pop out. So here is an arts review, again from "Vogue" magazine (June 1, 1915): ________________________________________________ ...In...

Hello: As for the forward bow (Capstan) and stern (fairlead roller) memorial plaques left by Dr. Ballard, you can trust assured they are still in place. The overhead mosaic, a Paul Mathias/RMSTI/IFREMER creation will attest to this. Bearing in mind the images were captured by NAUTILE...
