Is there a list of the names of the crew who returned to Britain on the Lapland? |

What I did was subtract the names that weren't summoned to the U.S. Inquiry and presumed they were on the Lapland. However,I think a couple were still in the hospital! Good luck! -Andrew |

I'm curious to know if there is a list, too.
It looks like a list could be constructed from the original signing-off papers. I'm looking at a copy of a page in Titanic: Triumph and Tragedy 2nd ed., page 257. The official that signed under the "Release" column also recorded the date. Entries for those who returned on the Lapland were dated April 30. Entries for those who returned on the Celtic are dated May 6 and those who returned on the Adriatic are dated May 13. I wonder if anyone has constructed a list based on these original records? I am curious to know who was held back in New York and then returned on the Celtic.

After searching around a bit, I found scans of these documents. I went through and wrote out the names and dates of the crew members that were discharged. Here is a summary of what I found:
30/4/12 - 160 people
2/5/12 - 2 people
6/5/12 - 3 people
7/5/12 - 1 person
9/5/12 - 1 person
13/5/12 - 23 people
no signature/date recorded - 22 people (half of these had testified in the US)
I had two questions about this:
1. Should this information be posted somewhere on ET and if so, what format should the information take? Would it be most helpful to have a full transcription of the document or just a list with the names and dates? I see that the current crew lists include the "signing on" papers but not the "signing off" papers.
2. Some of the people who didn't sign these papers were witnesses at the US Inquiry. I wonder why it is that some did sign on the line for their name while others did not? Does anyone know?
Thanks for your time, everyone. |
