cherbourg

Is there any information about where ships (mainly the Olympic class) may have moored in Cobh and Cherbourg? I have found this topic hard to find answers to, and I feel like this would be the right place to ask.

Where dit Francis Millet board the Titanic? It is not quite clear. Some lists say Southampton, together with Butt. Others say Cherbourg. Also on Encyclopedia it is not clear. Ont he page of Millet; "He boarded the Titanic at Cherbourg as a first class passenger (ticket number 13509, £26 11s) He...

Hi all, I found the image of Titanic leaving Cherbourg all lights ablaze and I wanted to include it in my upcoming book, but looking closer at it I noticed smoke coming out of the fourth funnel. We all know it wasn't connected to the boilers, so I was wondering if the image is real or fake. The...

16mm home movie footage of tourists leaving the continent for America aboard the RMS Olympic shots of tenders and on shipboard as passengers enjoy deck games...... Sat, 20 Aug 2022 https://www.encyclopedia-titanica.org/film-of-rms-olympic-at-cherbourg.html

This gives you a pretty good idea of how the Titanic would have looked as the passengers arrived by Tender to embark. This snippet is from a home movie from the 1920s, is anyone able to tell which tender it is? This film, or the bit with the Olympic anyway, is three mins altogether and I hope...

Would that have delayed the departure?

Hi. I am currently in the process of writing a book, involving the Olympic. It starts off at Cherbourg harbor in 1934, so I was hoping if anyone knows if the Olympic still sailed to Cherbourg, and what tender would sail passengers out to the ship. and maybe what time the Olympic would arrive. I...

I was rereading On a Sea of Glass today for research and in the footnotes, it stated that "according to descendants of George Bowyer", he did not leave the Titanic in the Solent via a pilot boat but instead sailed on to Cherbourg. The reason being they could save time lost from leaving...

Admittedly, I have always simply assumed that the Titanic took the most straightforward and simple way to appraoch and leave the Cherbourg roadstead: When sailing from the isle of Wight, it seems more natural to enter the harbour by the east entrance, especially if one then plans to leave the...

My husband's grandmother, Panacea Milani, was just four when the Titanic sailed. Family lore says she and her father and step mother were unable to travel on the Titanic because Panacea was sick and lacked an immunization. (About all I can think of would be small pox). Is there a list of...

Researcher Lester Mitcham[1] claims that the contract ticket list, which names all the passengers who contracted for a ticket for RMS Titanic out of Cherbourg, exists. I have found no such list either in the National Archives of Great Britain or the National Archives and Records Administration...

His bio and passenger summary don't match up. Anybody have more info?

So in my continuing research for my new novel, I came across this video: which stated that 6 year old Robert Spedden quickly made friends with the other children of first class. Looking here: Children on the Titanic | Encyclopedia Titanica and sorting by Class, doesn't show there were many...

Survivor Edith Rosenbaum wrote about the incident in 1934. Do you think Edith was describing a common occurrence that takes place when transfers take place and was exaggerating the event, or was there a mishap and the two ships collided? Extract from her 1934 letter. 'We waited aboard the...

I work at La Cité de la Mer (Cherbourg, France) and I search a photo of Titanic off Cherbourg. Please see attached it (collection Claude Molteni de Villermont) printed in the book of Philippe Mélia and Fabrice Vanhoutte “SS Nomadic:petit frí¨re du Titanic”. Unfortunately M. Molteni de...

I have been trying to discover how many and who boarded Titanic at Cherbourg via the tender SS Nomadic. I believe 274 boarded, and Nomadic is credited with taking them all (including 102 3rd class despite being designed primarily for the 1st & 2nd class passengers). However i am told that...

Thought this was interesting. This is a photo taken on 24th June 2005 of lightning striking the Cherbourg-Poole ferry. I bet that woke up a few of the passengers! We have had our fair share of thunderstorms recently, "dahn sowf".

I've been to Southampton. Is there anything still Titanic-related in Cherbourg and Cobh (Queenstown)?

Hey, I'm just wondering if by any chance there might be passengers who disembarked at Cherbourg who are today alive. By the passenger list compiled on this site i found there was a number of "Master" and "Miss" titles onboard, indicating a number of young passengers. Any one heard of any still...
