Harold Bride

Hello Jemma,

I know what you mean about limits as far as building a website. I can bearly manage to work Geocities properly. I've saw other Geocities pages in which people appear to have taken Microsoft Word documents and uploaded them to their sites. I've tried this in the past for a Lusitania page I was doing, which is very similar to E.T., but it kept getting an error. Have you ever attempted this, and has it worked for you?


Cheers,

-B.W.

I've uploaded Word files, by copying and pasting, little by little. Easier than doing FTP, if a bit slower.

Brandon, I've only ever tried to upload pictures for www.geocities.com/senioroperatorjackphillips, i've not put any text onto it as such cos I wasn't sure if it would get any interest. I can't seem to make it cut and paste at all! And I have a friend who submitted a site to yahoo six months ago and they still haven't reviewed it, they charge something like 300 dollars to guaruntee they will do it in a week.

Tracy: I've tried that cut and paste deal as well. Didn't work.

That stinks considering I had a four-page document on the Titanic's smoking room I had written for the Yahoo Titanic Research Group's monthly newsletter that I was hoping to publish on a site.

Jemma: I thought it was $100. But the price has probably tripled. The funny thing is, you can find a ton of junky pages on those search engines, but not many really good ones.


Cheers,

-B.W.

I transferred an entire website from homestead to tripod by means of cut and paste....don't know how it missed for you. I used a WYSIWYG editor in both cases...maybe that is the key.

 

[Brandon Whited]

Could be.

 

[Tracy Smith]

Jemma might try using a Tripod site, then. They are free and they have the option of using a WYSIWYG editor.

>he also appears to have been quite sporty and active which dosen't tally with all night binges countless women etc etc.

Umm, Jemma, this would mean active as in rugby and football perhaps? Oh My God....what I wouldn't give to see Jack in a scrum...(Harold wasn't the only good looking one out of the pair!

)

Kritina

Not got any evidence of any rugby so far but who knows!

Cheers,

Jemma

Fancy sporty blokes, eh, Kritina? A pity I don't have a copy to show you of the photo I've seen of an adolescent James Moody in a cricketing outfit (wonder if he took after his father, a keen cricket player).

Jemma, please keep hosing down the rumours with fact! You're doing the Titanic community a public service.

Inger,

Just sent Philip Hind some info on cottam too, putting paid to the "Comminicating with Harold Bride by amatuer radio" Myths that were floating about. Seems like quite a few of the officers was sporty, If Moody was from about Lancashire he must have been into Cricket! Was trying to think, If Harold Bride was into sport which one would it be do you think?

Cheers
Jemma

G'day Jemma -

Good stuff! I think you're demonstrating that, in this instance, the facts around the story of these young professionals are more interesting than a haze of fiction.

Lowe was a keen sportsman, but inclined more towards solitary pursuits like hunting and fishing - although he enjoyed taking his family with him, and makes mention in one of his letters of looking forward to taking his son shooting when he was next at home. Moody was a Yorkshire lad

Not sure what a sportily inclined Bride would enjoy...something that required agility and scrappiness, I imagine!

All the best,

Ing

Inger,

Hmmm bearing in mind his major hobby was wireless even when he was a kid I wonder how much time he had for sport. He could swim that was about all I know lol. Was rather little cant see him in the middle of a scrum! Maybe he was the Michael Owen of the early Twentieth Century!! (For the Americans among us he's a little guy whose rather good at football!) One of the engineers was captain of Stirling possibly the sportiest crew member on the Titanic?

Take Care,

Jemma
