irishtimes.com	AN IRISHMAN'S DIARY Maybe it's time for another attempt to clear up one of the last remaining mysteries of the Titanic, the true identity of the passenger known as 'John Horgan', who for 99 years has been as silent as the depths into which the ship sunk. It is of course a common Irish name. And that a person so christened held a passenger ticket (Third class, No. 370377) for the doomed vessel is beyond doubt. So is the fact that somebody used that ticket to embark from Queenstown on the fateful day....	14th May 2011

Roanoke Times	VESTED IN THE TITANIC After Christie's got $119,000 for a Titanic life jacket at an auction in London last year, Gregg Dietrich was not surprised that his phone kept ringing with offers of other items from the ill-fated ship."When we sell one ... more seem to come out of the woodwork," said Dietrich, who heads the maritime (or "ocean liner") division of the auction house here. "We're been inundated with Titanic offers."The problem was, many of the calls came from people like the man who was certain he had all sorts of valuable Titanic keepsakes: a first-class passenger list, a menu from its Cafe Parisienne, even a passenger ticket that would have been the first ever auctioned.Except it wasn't....	7th July 2008

independent.ie	THE TITANIC LOVE STORY THAT CAUSED A RIFT IN MY FAMILY Tom and Hannah had tickets for another vessel but were transferred to the Titanic. It must have seemed like a stroke of luck because steerage on the Titanic was equivalent to second class elsewhere. They shared their cabin with another couple. Privacy was a luxury other classes enjoyed. Still, meals were plentiful, and survivors' accounts report merriment in third class, where the predominantly young emigrants partied during this hiatus between two worlds. Everyone knows what happened next. Three days after leaving Cobh, on the night of April 14, 1912, the Titanic collided with an iceberg. It was a catastrophe that could have been averted if ice warnings from other ships had been heeded. Or perhaps if the lookouts had been given binoculars, instead of having them locked away on the bridge. The Titanic is a story peppered with ifs and buts, as tragedies tend to be....	2nd June 2011

Herald News	NEW TITANIC BOOK 'A PEOPLE STORY' Hundreds of books documenting the sinking of the Titanic have been written. Then there are the movies and novels that depict the 1912 disaster. But too many accounts of the doomed luxury liner don’t tell the whole story, said Halifax author John Boileau. "They might mention in passing that there were inquiries conducted by the British and American authorities," Boileau said in an interview Tuesday. "They might even mention there was a recovery operation, which might get a paragraph or two or maybe a page, but generally the books end with the rescue operation." With his book Halifax and Titanic, which will be launched Thursday, Boileau hopes to fill the gaps in the Titanic tale and dispel some of the myths surrounding the disaster....	29th February 2012

Bristol Evening Post	WHY TITANIC TRIBUTE CONCERT WILL HAVE SPECIAL MEANING FOR CHARLOTTE Ii is the most memorable scene from every Titanic movie ever made – the string ensemble who took their instruments on to the deck, and heroically played on as the waves lapped around their ankles. It's not just artistic licence from Hollywood directors – there are plenty of eyewitness accounts to vouch for the fact that it actually happened when the ship went down in 1912. But for one Bristol teenager, the scene is particularly poignant. For 13-year-old Charlotte Woodward discovered just last year that her own great great uncle was the cellist with the doomed ensemble. John Wesley Woodward – Charlotte's great great grandfather's brother – was just 32 years old when he went down with the doomed White Star liner. Now Charlotte has a unique opportunity to pay tribute to her forefather. She has inherited the musical gene, and plays violin with the Bristol Schools Concert Orchestra – one of the local school bands that has been chosen to take part in a special centenary remembrance concert....	22nd March 2012
