[QUOTE="Martin Pirrie, post: 326652, member: 143420"] Lord Pirrie had prostate cancer and underwent surgery in February 1912. He was too ill to attend the sea trials or the maiden voyage of Titanic. He spent part of the next three months on his yacht SY Valiant cruising the Baltic and he attended the Kiel regatta in July 1912. Lady P. is reported to have written to Lady Aberdeen that she and her husband “were most wishful to travel on the Titanic on her maiden voyage” . Lord P’s doctors forbade the trip. I can find no record that the news of the sinking of Titanic was kept from him. Martin Pirrie. [/QUOTE]
