Is there a copy of the contents of the telegram found on Wallace Hartley's body available? It was labeled "Hotley, Bandmaster Titanic". Thanks, Melinda

Of all the instruments in the world, violins and other string instruments are often renowned for their longevity, with the centuries-old creations of Italian luthiers, Amati and Stradivari, holding hundreds of years’ worth of stories, and selling for millions of pounds today. Few, however, can...

I am trying to find the forensic musicologist, J. Marshall Bevil's (deceased 2017) copy of And the Band Played On: Hypotheses concerning what music was performed near the climax of the Titanic disaster. This was one of his dissertations. He gave me permission in the early 2000s to use it but...

I have successfully persuaded my local council to give me permission and funding for a blue plaque to Wallace Hartley due to the fact he was a residence in my home town of Bridlington, East Yorkshire, from 1902-1904. His fiancee was living here on the same road as the theatre where he played and...

Good morning everybody I am looking for two things today.... Next year I am putting up a blue plaque for Wallace Hartley and I would very much like it to be unveiled by one of Hartley's relatives or if not the actor who played him in the 1997 film. If anybody knows how to track these people...

A New Hampshire auction house is commemorating the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic by offering more than 180 pieces of memorabilia from the maritime tragedy, including a letter from the bandleader who chose to play on as the ship sank. Wallace Hartley wrote home to his parents in...

I have recently read ‘A Hymn for Eternity, The Story Of Wallace Hartley Titanic Band Master’ and it has been suggested that Wallace Hartley could have been a member of the Savage Club. However the author Yvonne Carroll is doubtful that he really was a member. Is there any evidence to suggest...

I wasn't sure where to put this, but I was in Colne visiting Wallace on Sunday (I took my guitar and played him Nearer, My God, To Thee; Working Class Hero and Mr. Tambourine Man - the latter two with the lyrics changed to suit. I hope he has a good sense of humour). Anyway, as I walked down...

In my recent researching of Lancashire connections with the Titanic, I came across a photograph of Wallace that I haven't seen before in a newspaper. Since I have no scanner and am therefore unable to get the image onto the computer just yet, I was wondering if anyone had any links to images...

Just received a new book for review by Yvonne Carroll. Contains some very nice photographs and looks very interesting indeed. It's around the $20 mark and I believe also available in the U.S. Anyone interested can email me at: whitfieldgeoff@aol.com and I'll send full details back. Geoff

This is what was found on poor Wallace Hartley when his body was recovered (quoting from the notes made at the time here): "EFFECTS - Gold fountain pen, "W.H.H."; diamond solitaire ring; silver cigarette case; letters; silver match box, marked "W.H.H., from Collingson's staff. Leeds"...

Wallace Hartley's Violin 2 Hello, I was just speaking to Andrew Rogers about it today, when we were looking for the fireman John Murdoch's grave (and yes we did find it) and he suggested I put this hear. Wallace Hartley's body was found with his violin strapped onto him. Does anyone know...

I live in Sheffield, England and I travel up to Burnley in Lancashire a lot. This is only 8 miles away from Colne and the site of the grave of Wallace Hartley, Titanic's Orchestra leader. It is a place I have been to quite a lot and always lay a wreath on the 14th April each year. I thought...
