Death of Wyn Craig Wade

[Mark Baber]

Today I received the latest Commutator, which contains an obituary reporting that Mr. Wade died on 11 October last year, a fact that I don't recall having been noted here before.

Sad news!

His book remains a valuable contribution and a good memorial.

I'm sorry to hear this. As Dave said, his book did a lot for the Titanic community. I recall seeing him on Titanic: Death of a Dream and found his interview to be very interesting.

My condolences to his family. Thanks for posting that, Mark.

That's unfortunate. I have a copy of his book and it cuts through a lot of the murk that's out there. I don't know of any thread here noting his passing until now.

Hi there everyone.

First time poster, long time reader here. I have a very specific question I'm hoping someone might be able to help with. I'm a writer and have been trying to track down who might own the rights to Wyn Craig Wade's book - Titanic: End of a dream - in order to reference it on a project I'm working on. I've been passed around various publishers (Penguin, Simon & Schuster and Scribner) and have also been in touch with Wyn's apparent attorney, who it turns out wasn't his attorney at all, but no one can tell me where the rights lie since Wyn's death.

My question is, does anyone know if Wyn has any family members who might be responsible for his estate?

Any help would be greatly appreciate. Thanks!

Ollie
