huffingtonpost.com	MOLLY BROWN, TITANIC SURVIVOR, IS HONORED IN NEW EXHIBIT Thousands of miles from the ocean, a museum tells the story of a woman made famous by the Titanic. No, her name was not Rose, and a movie about her life, "The Unsinkable Molly Brown," starring Debbie Reynolds as a plucky lifeboat survivor, was a hit decades before Kate Winslet's doomed romance in "Titanic." Molly Brown was a real person, but the movie created a myth that the museum, located in Brown's Denver home, attempts to dispel. Born in 1867 to Irish immigrants in Hannibal, Mo., Brown struck it rich, with her husband, from a Colorado gold mine years before she boarded the Titanic, and in later years, she fought for women's suffrage and labor rights....	26th March 2012

George Henry Green, a metal worker from Dorking, boarded the historic vessel as a third class passenger in April 1912 in search of a new life in America.

This week, great-granddaughters Penelope Simpson and Carolyn Whapham looked back on the life of a family man who they claim was never given the opportunity to be saved.

news.com.au	SURVIVOR'S LOST TITANIC TALE RESURFACES AFTER DECADES A SURVIVOR'S account of the sinking of the Titanic was rediscovered after having been lost for decades and will be published next month ahead of the 100th anniversary of the disaster. John B "Jack" Thayer, who boarded the ship at age 17 with his parents, printed his recollections of the catastrophe as a family record in 1940 and made just 500 copies. The tome was recently unearthed by Lorin Stein, editor of the Paris Review, who recalled a family tie he had to the Titanic after Luke Pontifell, who runs handmade-book publisher Thornwillow Press, said he wished he could track down documents from the ship.

dailymail.co.uk	A TITANIC TALE OF LOVE AND LOSS There was a glamorous woman on board Titanic who sneaked past the barriers of the doomed luxury liner to watch the sun rise. And like Rose, it’s more than likely that she went there with a lover. Helen Candee, a New York divorcée, was a woman out of time: unconventional, beautiful and daring. By the time she stepped aboard the Titanic at Cherbourg on Wednesday 10 April 1912, she had already lived a life few other women of her era could dream of. Aged 53, with a handsome face and cool gaze, she boarded the waiting ship at dusk. A celebrated writer and interior designer, a leading light on the US social scene, she was a celebrity back home – her comings and goings were regularly reported in the press, and she was noted for her lively dinner parties. She had brought up her two children single-handedly after divorcing her wealthy husband of 15 years in 1896. Having suspected him of infidelity, she had him tailed by private detectives, but their evidence wasn’t enough proof for the New York courts, so she returned to Oklahoma, where she had lived briefly, and secured a divorce there, this time citing her husband’s abusiveness and heavy drinking....	25th March 2012
