Hello - Just joined "ET" and on reading this thread on maiden voyage disasters am surprised that no mention has been made of the loss of the White Star Line "Tayleur" built at Warrington.
Two histories have been published in the last few years - IRON CLIPPER - The White Star Line's First Titanic by HF Starkey and BOUND FOR AUSTRALIA by Edward J Bourke.
Iron Clipper looks at the similarities between the loss of the Titanic and Tayleur, whilst BOUND FOR AUSTRALIA complements it focusing more on the wreck.
For those that don't know TAYLEUR was wrecked on Lambay Island, north of Dublin, on a Voyage from Liverpool to Australia.
