Hi folks,
So I've got one of those "family stories" that I've always been interested in finding the facts/truth of ...
And its this ... my gr-gr-grand Uncle was John Breen, of Wexford, Ireland, who rose to Captain in the WSL, first of the Delphic and then the Zealandic, amongst others.
The story goes that he, being one of the longest serving WSL Captains in 1912, could have been/was considered for the Titanic's captaincy, but ultimately not chose for whatever reason.
How would I even go about researching more into this ? Thank you !
