1912

Hi there, I have searched everywhere but couldn't find an original one so I'll try here. I have a collection of newspapers that cover the sinking of the Titanic. The one that is missing is the Boston Daily Globe from April 16, 1912. Maybe someone has an original copy (or knows where to get one)...

A new "fanedit" has been created that completely removes the fictional Jack and Rose love story, leaving what really happened to Titanic, with historical characters as dramatised by James Cameron. It also restores deleted scenes of historical moments including the officers and the nearby ship...

When Olympic left Southampton for New York on the 3 April 1912. Did she take the same route out as Titanic did? And pass the same ships tied up?

Did any potential athletes perish or did any relatives and friends of athletes competing in the games perish in the sinking? Did the sinking of the Titanic cause as much shock and change in the world in 1912 like 9/11 did in 2001? Were there any memorial services for the Titanic victims at...

According to the Wikipedia page of the television series Titanic: Blood and Steel, which mentions the storm: Wikipedia's reference note says it can from the book On A Sea of Glass: The Life & Loss of the R.M.S. Titanic. Does anyone else have any information about this storm? Where in the...

What food could first-class passengers choose on the first night of the maiden voyage?

If I recall correctly, this cartoon is included in the book Titanic: Triumph & Tragedy.

Reading about the movements and actions of people after the collision....to some extent even before - often made me wonder if they behaved rather differently during a long voyage such as a transatlantic crossing ie sort of let their hair down a bit. I was always under the impression that many...

You are invited to a very special screening of "The Lucky Holdup" starring Titanic Survivor Dorothy Gibson. The 8-minute fragment discovered in 2001 is all that survives of the film made in March 1912, a month before Dorothy and her mother sailed aboard the Titanic. Join the group to take part...

Ok a boat really. I'm sure some of you know this already but its a new fact to me and I found it interesting. I was poking around the net looking stuff up about ships and came across this. The African Queen, the boat from from the movie was built in England and launched in 1912. A few months or...

Does anybody know what the procedure was for sending and receiving messages during the time of Titanic. Specifically how did the time stamps work? Did they send the time along with the message or simply log it in a book when a message was was sent or received. I've seen old movies where when...

Were "Q Codes" in use by Marconi Operators in 1912 ? There was a discussion about the use of "DDD" and "QRT" previously. As I interpret it, "DDD", as Phillips sent it, meant "To Californian ! YOU stop sending immediately ! I am working Cape Race !" Evans received the "DDD" and there was no...

I'm a Canadian journalist who has been trying for months to find a satirical news or magazine article that I believe was published just after the sinking. If my memory is correct (I remember seeing it in a documentary as a child), the headline was something like "Titanic 'just missed' list...

Hello there. I'm hoping for any information on the voyage of the Celtic from Queenstown (or Cobh, or Cork), Ireland arriving at Ellis Island on 20 April 1912. When did the Celtic leave Queenstown? Or, how long was the voyage? My maternal grandfather was on that voyage and I'm researching...

Found this photo in a US newspaper from April 1912 reported to be the Titanic, but I can see her promenade deck is not enclosed which makes her the Olympic. Anyone know where this photo was taken and if her forward anchor is being raised or lowered? New York quarantine? .

Is it true that on this voyage Mr. Ismay took notes and decided that changes to the Titanic had to be made and this is why he sailed on the Titanic a few months later? Jan 18th 1912 New York Tribune .

Does anyone know roughly how busy the shipping traffic was in 1912 and in comparison with this screenshot taken from a live shipping tracker today would the Atlantic have been much less congested or much more in 1912? Thinking about the coal factor being the driving force of many ships and the...

Titanic left Queenstown at April 11 in 1912. Between 2.20 pm. and 5 pm. she was on the way between Daunt Rock and Fastnet Rock. I want to know the strengh and direction of the tidal stream at this time. Firstly I looked up the times of the moon phase with a moon phase calculator: moon phases...

"Canada 1912" is the title of a chapter in my book "A White Angel" which I wrote last year and that was published in the UK by Ardnamona Publishers. The book is an historical novel about 9/11 but part of the story of the Titanic is featured and readers may like to know why. So for the records...

How did people clean their mouths and teeth in those days? Did they brush their teeth regularly? As someone who does not have a single filling at 60 years of age, I often wonder about bad breath etc of those times.
