Message: [QUOTE="Bob Godfrey, post: 251034, member: 136612"] Hallo, Chris. The crews weren't employed by the White Star Line on any permanent basis, but rather were signed on for each individual voyage, generally a few days before the sailing date, then reported for duty at 6am on sailing day. Your uncle's name doesn't appear on the signing-on sheets for the Titanic, or on the list of 'discharged crew' which would include men 'taken off sick'. I should add that there are very many tales of family members who sailed on (or just missed) the Titanic, but most have 'grown in the telling' over the years. Maybe your uncle's experience was actually with another ship. [/QUOTE]
