Arun, Appreciate what you say but I have spent the last three years exposing Garate! His biography on ET isn't the problem, if you look at it again you will see that it makes no mention of Elizabeth Nye or the 'liar' allegation. The problem is the length of time he has been getting away with...

Hi Arun, A word of thanks for your welcome post on the Uruchurtu Forum. If you would like to know more just email me on [email protected] and I can tell you all about Mr Garate. Thanks again, Dave Bryceson

Recently Mr Javier Lopez entered his collection of photographs of Manuel Uruchurtu on a Mexican Auction site with a start price of US$ 15,000. I think that the followers of this forum would be interested to read the description Mr Lopez has entered below a picture of the items. You will see...

This is getting really silly now. I see that Mr Lopez has made no reply to the valid questions raised by Bob Godfrey in Post 43. Instead he has transferred his commenting onto a facebook page and one of his comments there has upset me and compelled me to write this OPEN LETTER TO MR JAVIER...

Regrettably there is a very sad and tragic footnote to be added to the matters discussed in this forum. Readers will recall that at the start of The Reforma`s enquiries into the Nye/Uruchurtu allegations in April 2012 the newspaper received a letter from Gertrudis Uruchurtu, the direct-line...

I have just one comment to make in reply to Post 41. Mr Lopez, it really is time that you, and anyone else who still believes Mr Garate`s story, woke up and smelled the roses.

I have had a couple of queries about the post script I left at the end of Post 35. This was in reply to the comments left by Mr Garate on 27 Aug 12 beneath an internet article headed `The Mexican Hero of the Titanic Sinking - the story is false` which followed Guadalupe Loaeza`s surprise speech...

My thanks go to David Gaddis Smith at This site is under development for his excellent translation. The Colonel`s telling of the Titanic tale is riddled of course with historical inaccuracies. The fanciful story told by the American visitor, plus her failure to repeat the story to any...

ELIZABETH NYE - MANUEL URUCHURTU A FACT UNREAL With the number of views to this Manuel Uruchurtu Forum about to go over 2,000 there is obviously a great deal of interest in this subject and I thought the readers might like to know some more about the events between April and October this...

On 1 Ocr 12 this follow-up article appeared in The Reforma newspaper in Mexico City. (NB: PRI is a Mexican political party) Loaeza rejects her novel `Gentleman of the Titanic` TITANIC HERO SINKS Experts deny that Manuel Uruchurtu saved a British passenger from the ship Erika P. Bucio...

Mr Garate is perfectly correct when he says that Manuel Uruchurtu was the only Mexican passenger on board the Titanic. However, I am surprised that his 30 year research into the disaster failed to find that there was a second Mexican National on the ship - a member of the crew. His name was...

For an update to this story, see:- Guadalupe Loazea to write new introduction to novel El Caballero del Titanic to reflect that underlying basis of story of victim Manuel Uruchurtu was fabricated...

The story that one of the two Mexicans on board the Titanic, 1st class passenger Manuel Uruchurtu, gave up his seat in lifeboat 11 to 2nd class passenger Elizabeth Nye is a heart-stirring tale of chivalry from a bygone age. There is only one problem with it though - it is NOT a true story. I...
