Thanks for all those great sites and pictures. Maybe we should talk to Phil about having a new section where we can just post interesting sites like that. Or better yet, maybe a section on the regular board similar to links where you could search for a name, like Widener for example, and come up with your http. Or, perhaps they could be attached to the individual biographies. Just some thoughts. It sounds like a hell of a lot of work now that I think about it.
 
Mike,

Thanks. These are images I ran across during my own picture research over the last year and since some of them haven't been seen by most people I thought I'd share them.

There are a lot of authors and potential authors among us and, though most might wish to leave the picture-hunting to publishers, I don't believe in relying on a publisher's staff of picture researchers who will invariably pick an image that's been used time & again. Or, as we've all seen in recent books, the pictures are often misidentified or misdated.

For those like me who are working on a book or article or any kind of project, I urge you to take advantage of searching Corbis-Bettmann or the Illustrated London News Picture Library ON YOUR OWN - you'll be surprised what you find.

By the way, the images I've posted here are only a very small percentage of what is to be found.

Dear Randy,
have just looked at the picture of the 'makeshift dorm on Carpathia for male Titanic survivors' It is a great picture, of excellent clarity, but it shows male crew members from the victualling department, while they were being held in Plymouth, following their return to England on the Lapland.
I thought I should say something.
Regards
Craig
 
Craig,

Thanks for clarifying. Corbis needs all the help they can get when it comes to ID-ing some of their images. Many only have partial captions and it takes their researchers a while to dig for more info. I will let them know the ship is not the Carpathia if they haven't already been contacted. I told them the dates of some of their Lady Duff Gordon pics were off & they still haven't corrected the errors. But they have a good crew working; it's just with so many pictures in so many collections, it's tough going.

I'd love to know who the passengers disembarking on the photo are. I'm guessing the elderly lady is a first class passenger ... who might she be.

Thanx for sharing those photos with us Randy, you're a champ!

I hope all is well.

Warm Regards,

Daniel.
