victims (of titanic)

I am a distance relation to Boysie (on fathers side) I have a picture taken when we believe he was sixteen + his birth certificate. Your details showing him as 19 is incorrect he was actually 17 and five months when he joined the crew of the Titanic. I will be sending a copy of the certificate...

Hey all, was just browsing through the list of bodies recovered following the Lusitania disaster (Numerical Victims List: The Lusitania Resource) and it states that body 248 was Mr. Leon Thresher "American aboard the Falaba". I realise that the liner Falaba was torpedoed and sunk on 28th March...

Have just come across some not so nice pictures of Luistania victims in a book ! I imagine these pictures were taken for identification purposes at the time. However I don’t see the need to publish pictures of these people which have died in books ? There is also a picture of a corpse of someone...

Hello all, I found this article in the St. Paul Daily News of May 17, 1912 and I am curious to hear what you think of it: "TITANIC VICTIMS DIED OF HUNGER - Tooth marks on cork and collapsible lifeboat tell grim tale - Liner found three - New York, May 16.- Bits of cork in their...

Did a high percentage of first and second class women and children die in the lusitania disaster?

Greetings! I am currently working on a theory which correlates the location victims were recovered from the RMS Titanic and their cause of death. This inquiry stems from the fact that I have encountered two different documents and one widely held opinion as to the actual cause of death for the...

I was idly rereading some of David Zeni's wonderful book on the Empress of Ireland and my eye was caught by a mention of victim Mrs. F. E. Briggs Boynton of St. Thomas, Ontario where a local paper had reported that she had a sister who also perished on the Titanic? Has anyone been able to...

Lawrence Beesley was one survivor who was listed as having died. Were there other survivivors listed as missing? Likewise, were there any victims listed as having survived? Tarn Stephanos

To avoid misunderstandings about my questions, perhaps I should begin by explaining that although I personally am Episcopalian (i.e., American form of the Church of England), I am partially of Jewish descent and interested in Jewish history and genealogy. 1. Other than Michel Navratil, Sr...

I see a three names for female I see a three names for female crew who died. A Mrs. Snape, and Two Mrs. Wallises. Was this a mistake or were they related?

I have a question regarding the issuance of official certificates of death for the victims. Those whose bodies were recovered had permits for burial issued. However, what about those who were not recovered at all? Obviously some form of official record must have been created for the...

I have had some correspondence from a friend in Nova Scotia which is of some interest. Three families wanted to have the names of their presumed ancestors inscribed on the headstones. Since there was no positive identification of these Titanic victims, a palaeo-DNA project was undertaken to...

In reguards to those who went down with the ship you often hear about *and see* pictures of the paired shoes on the bottem where a body may have once laid. My question is this. I know the pressure that deep would definatly cause the lungs and other organs to implode, but would the body have...

Anyone know if any Titanic survivors later fell victims to the Holocoust? thanks Tarn Stephanos

One of the aspects of the disaster that most upset survivors was hearing the cries of the victims in the water, at 2:20 a.m. on the morning of April 15, 1912. However, I've never read any descriptions of what survivors in the boats actually heard --- other than that it was horrifying. Does...

How many victims were recovered,and how long did they search? Did many go to the bottom with the ship?

I am interested in the burial site of my Aunt Katerine Buckley. Iknow she was buried somewhere outside of Boston. All records of her within our family have become lost. Thanks for any help you can give. Judi

Can anyone tell me where I can see some pictures of the victim bodies found in 1912? alan@fundy.net

apologies if this has been discussed already...but i always wondered why the Carpathia didn't see any bodies floating at the wreck site the morning after .. did they drift away ? When officer Lowe went back on what i'm sure was a nightmarish scene he would never forget..he must have discovered...
