Titanicin tuntematon lapsi
The Unknown Child of the Titanic
Vuonna 1912 Titanicin tuhon jälkeen merestä löytyi pienen, tunnistamattoman pojan ruumis, joka kellui vedessä ilman pelastusliivejä kasvot kohti taivasta. Tuosta lapsesta tuli kaikkien Titanicin lapsiuhrien symboli. Lukemattomat vierailijat ovat laskeneet hänen haudalleen Kanadassa nalleja ja pohtineet: kuka hän on?
Nyt arvoitus on ratkennut – 90 vuoden jälkeen.
Tuntematon lapsi on tunnistettu suomalaiseksi, 13 kuukauden ikäiseksi Eino Panulaksi, ja Panulan perheen unohdettu, traaginen tarina on herännyt henkiin.
Kirja kertoo huikean tarinan siitä, keitä olivat lapsen vanhemmat Maria ja Juho Panula, miten he elivät ja mitä tapahtui Titanicilla – ja mitä tuhon jälkeen. Entä tuntematon lapsi? “On kuin hän olisi odottanut tunnistamistaan”, sukulaiset sanovat.
Description
Review
Released in the Fall of ’03, this Finnish language hardcover concentrates on the history of the Finnish Panula family — of Mr. Juho and Mrs. Maria Panula, their many children and the eventual recognition of the Unknown Child via DNA tests.
Some of the 224 pages also contain information on other Finns on board the Titanic.
Included are 35 photos related to the Panulas and to the ill-fated liner. An interesting book. — Juha Peltonen, Finnish Titanic Historian
About the Book
In 1912, after the destruction of the Titanic, the body of a small, unidentified boy was found in the sea, floating in the water without a life jacket, facing the sky. That child became a symbol of all the child victims of the Titanic. Countless visitors have placed teddy bears on his grave in Canada and wondered: who is he?
Now the riddle has been solved – after 90 years.
The unknown child has been identified as Finnish, 13-month-old Eino Panula, and the forgotten, tragic story of the Panula family has come to life.
The book tells an amazing story about who the child’s parents, Maria and Juho Panula, were, how they lived and what happened on the Titanic – and what happened after the destruction. What about the unknown child? “It’s like he was waiting to be recognized,” relatives say.
