Thomas Francis Myles

[Thomas Myles Mahan, Jr]

I am a new participant to this message board. My interest in all things Titanic stems from my Great Grandfather, Mr. Thomas Francis Myles, who was a casualty in the disaster.

I would love to hear from anyone who has any information about Mr. Myles.

There are two pages on Thomas Myles on this site: his biography page and his summary page. There are links on those pages to the newspaper articles published in New Jersey about his son Frederick's difficulties in the aftermath of the sinking.

Thanks for your quick reply, Mark.

Also, there is a passage in Lawrence Beesley's book, "The Loss of the SS Titanic" which, I believe, refers to Myles. In Chapter II, Beesley writes of that Sunday in the Library:

"Engaged in a conversation with them is a gentleman whom I subsequently identified from a photograph as a well known resident of Cambridge, Massachusetts, geniel, polished, and with a courtly air towards the ladies, whom he has known but a few hours..."

Hope this is of some help.

Best regards,
Cook
