    News Feeling lucky? This lady survived the Titanic and then went down on the Rohilla off Whitby

    THE concrete wreck of the MV Creteblock lies on the same stretch of Whitby beach as the remains of the Rohilla. It was a hospital ship on its way from Scotland to collect the injured from the battlefields of Belgium when, on October 30, 1914, it ran aground on Whitby Scar in a bad storm...

    First Class E Deck Cabins and the poor stewardess' legs

    Hi, Upon looking at the E deck plans with the cabin allocations, it is evident that many passengers are placed almost sporadically. One would think that it would have been a hell of a lot easier for the poor stewardesses to have had most, if not all of the passengers placed closer together...

    Cabins for stewardesses

    I was looking over the number of stewardesses and the number of cabins and was just wondering if anyone had any idea about how the cabins were divided/how many rooms stewardesses were in charge of? I realize that most passengers had valets and maids, but the ratio of rooms to victualing crew...

    Were the Titanic stewardesses assigned to a class onboard the ship?

    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.)...

    Stewardesses and Lifeboats

    I am having a hard time trying to place the surviving stewardesses in to lifeboats. I don't have any stewardesses being recorded and placed in lifeboats at all. On this site, it doesn't list any stewardesses in lifeboats, like it does crew and other passengers (like when you click on the...

    Stewardess during the sinking

    Hi to all, I suppose this is quite hard a thing to get precise information on, but I was wondering whether we have any on what they precisely did -apart from Jessop thanks to her book! Did they all attend the informal meeting where they were told to get passengers lifebelts and then go up on...

    Food for the stewardesses

    Hi everyone I got some information on the stewardesses' accommodation, but as for their food I haven't found any information so far. Does someone know if they had their own meals somewhere on the boat or ate only the left overs in their cabins? Thanks for any help on that matter

    Stewardesses' recruitment

    Hello to anyone who may read it! I'm currently doing a research on Titanic's stewardesses and I have only found little information on their recruitment so far. *I especially wonder how the stewardesses were recruited; I've read about a lady superintendent choosing among the candidates in...

    Did any of the stewards and stewardesses exhibit heroism the night of the sinking

    As much as I love the James Cameron Titanic film- my one complaint was that the stewards were depicted as a band of thugs and cowards.... To set the record stright, can someone site the finest examples of heroism displayed by Titanic's stewards and stewardesses as the ship went down...

    Stewardesses in New York

    This is two questions really. One: what day/time was Titanic expected in New York? And two: what did the stewardesses and crew do while the ship they were working on was docked in a foreign city? Did they still have jobs to do or could they go on shore? Violet Jessop's autobiography suggests...

    Stewardesses in No 11

    I've read in previous discussions that nine stewardesses supposedly escaped in Lifeboat No. 11. Can anyone point me to evidence supporting that? I've only been able to find confirmation in the accounts of four female crew members (Gold, A.Martin, Robinson and Slocombe).
