Daniel Parkes' Murdoch web site

[Dan E. Parkes]

Just thought that this thread should be updated with the fact that I have finally created a brand new website on First Officer William Murdoch.

The permanent address is from now on: www.williammurdoch.net

Updated material is being uploaded over the new few weeks leading up to the centenary.

My ambition is that the website be the no.1 resource of research and information on Titanic's First Officer.

So any feedback, additions, corrections etc are greatly appreciated.

Enjoy!

I like your site! You can count on me being a frequent visitor.

My God, these websites all have absolutely top notch information! I only wish that all the Titanic officers could have biographies covered so comprehensively...
One small issue, though. It mentions that Seaman Moore, in charge of boat 3, is 51 years old, yet the article on him on this website states that he was born in 1880. Could someone verify this? That's willimiammurdoch.net, by the way.

It looks good, Dan - very navigable, and I look forward to seeing new material as it is uploaded.

Many thanks for the positive feedback everyone. There are some new articles already uploaded on Ada Murdoch, his celluloid portrayal (including the 1943 German version and the latest ITV series not yet screened) and information on The Weeping Woman, other possible family and his dog Rigel legend.

Stefan, you are correct that Mr George Alfred Moore should be listed as aged 32 (born 1880) at the time of the tragedy -I will update this asap. Well spotted. Many thanks!

I have some interesting questions I would like to ask the community but am waiting until the new forum and specifically the crew section is properly up and running and I can post there....?
