Hello all, Does anyone know what camera Father Browne was using to take his infamous Titanic photos? Regards,

To make Titanic’s story more tangible, I have purchased a few items that help me get closer to the ship and its passengers. I'm curious if others do the same and what items they cherish? To break the ice, I'll share my small collection with a brief explanation for each item. I'd love to hear and...

In another thread the total number of known photos taken of the Titanic was mentioned (363). I wanted to know how many of those photos were taken by passengers aboard Titanic or - before embarking/ after disembarking - the ship. As far as I know only Frank Browne and Kate Odell – both first...

A book by a second cousin of Francis Browne contains previously unpublished - often stunning - photographs by the famous Irish photographer. There are also pictures of ships and the author claims that some of them are the Titanic. Can you tell?

Hello forum members, Question: did Frank Browne take the tender Ireland or the tender America to Queentown’s harbour? On page 94 of the book Father Browne’s Titanic Album the America is mentioned, but I doubt whether that’s correct. One of the last photos Frank included in his famous album was...

I read in the biography of Frank Browne that “he photographed Robert D. Spedden, T.W. Mc Cawley, Jacques Futrelle, Harold Bride and the last picture ever taken of Captain E.J. Smith.” There are a number of errors and omissions in this statement I will try to correct with your help. Last...

Hello everyone ! :) I am a little bit confused. I don't know whether the pictures below were taken by Francis Browne or the Odell family... Could you help me out on this ? :) PS: These pictures come from internet and are NOT mine. 1. Picture credit Titanic Universe says the picture was...

Hello everyone, I’m intrigued by a 2012 report of ITV Meridian News on Father Browne who famously took photographs onboard the RMS Titanic before disembarking at Queenstown. Here’s the link: Titanic Photographs According to the report Father Browne left his great-nephew - one Mr John Martin in...

I was wondering, if Francis Browne decided not to leave the ship at Queenstown (now Cork), what do you think would have happened to him and his photographs if he was on board during the sinking? Here are some scenarios that I have thought of. Scenario 1 (Best Outcome): Francis Browne survives...

A bit of a trivial question but I need to confirm /find out.... Does anyone know the name of this pilot boat (If it is a pilot boat), where George Bowyer disembark aboard the Titanic and if so, did this boat came from Southampton or the Isle of wright? I heard a rumour the boat's called the...

Does anyone have any pictures of Titanic taken by Father Brown? If you do please post them here

A famous Fr Browne photo - The man on the left bears a similarity, but is NOT William Walfdorf Astor, JJ's cousin. I have checked a number of photographs. As far as I am concerned it is a theory created to fit the use of the word "Astor" in the original Fr Browne album caption, based...

I am sorry, I did not know where to put this thread (Again) Why are Browne, The Mays' and the Odells' on the same Ticket? And their Fares are counted together? Then... would it be only 1 ticket for all of them. or would they have had 1ticket each with the same number on it? Regards...

just wondering if anyone has any recent online photos of the marconi room

Was "Father" his name? What was his job, his full name etc. Thank you

Everyone, I'm sure this issue has come up before, but I was wondering if anyone knew the identity of the middle aged couple photographed walking on A deck near the entrance to the Palm Court, the port crance and entrance to the A Deck promenade visible in the background. They don't (but I...

Hey, in another thread, Daniel Rosenshine said: "R. W. Smith had a travelling companion, Mrs. Nicholls, who only went as far as Queenstown (Craig Stringer is to thank for this info). Nicholls and Smith were acquainted with Fr. Browne so that's why the couple may have been a subject for his...

In reading the Father Brown book, one Titanic photo has me scratching my head, is the somewhat hazy photo of the alcove of the Reading And Writing Room. Since the rug has the same wrinkle as in the photo of the same room on Olympic, I think both photos were either from Olympic or Titanic...
