Not a Titanic book, but one by a Titanic author/historian... I see Amazon is now taking pre-orders for Senan's latest work - his much anticipated tome on the Phoenix Park murders in 1882 (although I gather that the cover will be improved on the early-issue one that Amazon is using!)...

I heard some time ago that George Rose, the actor who played baker Charles Joughin in ANTR, was murdered in New York. There are conflicting reports on his death. George Rose (born in 1920 as Arthur Ropes in Bicester, Oxfordshire, England), also appeared in more than twenty Broadway...

Morning everyone, This subject has more than likely been brought up in another thread so I apologise beforehand if I'm going over old ground. I recently read a book about a British passenger ship which was torpedoed during WW2 and the survivors were eventually rescued from their lifeboats...
