Hello there,
Just wondering if you could please help me.
My Great Grandfather was Captain James Bramwell Norris who was with both White Star Line and Cunard . He use to Captain the ships to America ,New Zealand and Australia from about 1903 .
He had a very good record as a Captain and believe he may have been offered the Captain’s position on the ill fated Titanic as for his good record and because Captain Smith didn’t have a great record with several collisions before the Titanic. No disrespect to him at all.
James Bramwell Norris had already decided to move to Australia with his young family only months after the Titanic had been launched in 1911. A decision I am greatfull to be here.
How could I find out more about him ?
Kind regards
