Hi everybody, my name is Sergio Ramos Pérez and I'm from Spain. I'm searching descendants of passengers and crew of the Titanic for a novel. Or descendats of passengers and crew of the Californian, Carpathia, of Harland & Wolff, whatever is. I'll upload the novel to Amazon in March. I want to...
Hello everyone! I was wondering what the shift schedule for a first class bedroom steward might be? I understand they served 3-5 rooms onboard, but were they expected to attend to these rooms constantly? Did one steward cover an assigned section of cabins at day and another take on these duties...

Is there any records or lists that have been found of Crew Members and their specific assignments aboard the Titanic? For example, maybe which stewards were to cover which state rooms? Or which members had which badge numbers? Anything of that nature of similar could be of great use and help...

Hi all, Does anyone know why David Blair is not currently (10 Feb 2020) listed as part of the Belfast to Southampton Delivery Crew? Capt. Haddock IS on the list, so I can't understand why Blair isn't. A lot of those listed have 'Delivery Crew Only' noted, so I expected to see his name there. LL
Hello everyone, Last night while finishing reading the awesome book "On A Sea of Glass" I wondered where the crew used to sleep while the ship was in New-York? It seems obvious that that could be on the ship, but if we push the thought a little further, it becomes far less obvious : in winter...
Hi all, I'm researching our family tree and my great grandfather, John George Johnson, was a Quartermaster for White Star Line. We know this to be true. He lived in Liverpool. I've recently linked to family, who live in the USA. We have no record of my great grandfather being in the UK from...
I am new to this site, this is my first post. Have been interested (obsessed) with Titanic for years. There are some very interesting crew photos where individuals can be identified. There is a photo of surviving crew members on a bunch of steps outside a building, New York, I think. Reginald...

Hi, I was just wondering where these people slept because I can't find these people's cabins anywhere and I am making a document for every crew member and passenger that includes where they slept. These are problems. *There seems to be 7 Quartermasters, and the only cabin I find for them is on...
Hello all, I know that the ship's officers had their own mess as it were, but were they expected to eat in the first class dining saloon if they weren't on duty at the bridge? Did they act as hosts? Thanks, ~Matt
Hi everyone! I was wondering if anyone knows where the victualling crew (stewards, cooks, etc.) ate? Did they use the passenger dinning rooms when the passengers were not eating? Thanks
Hi, Generally when reading of Titanic's stokers and trimmers, only the briefest of mention is made to how they came to sign on to the ship. My pretty basic understanding, is that an individual would seek employment for a voyage on a ship by ship basis, rather than a permanent position with a...
I have been researching 9/11 stuff during my Titanic years, and into the process, I found that onboard the flights (I found on Flight 93 first) the flight attendants had been assigned to a certain class cabin (such as one flight attendant assigned to first class, another into coach, etc.)...
