Titanic People

This work tells the tales of over 2,200 men, women and children, who became part of history simply by stepping on board an ocean steamer, bound for a routine crossing of the Atlantic ninety years ago. They had not the slightest notion that they were going to be the participants in what was to be the world’s worst maritime disaster, claiming the lives of over 1,500. Nor were they aware that almost a century later their lives would be scrutinised so closely by people who never met or knew them.

On the CD, there are pdf files with full biographies for:

1st Class passengers
2nd Class passengers
3rd Class passengers
Crew

As well as:

an introduction/bibliography
list of crew by position
lists of each class of passenger by family group
an overall master index.

In total over sixteen hundred pages!

I want to give a hand to Craig Stringer for his wonderful CD-ROM - an extraordinary accomplishment. This modest researcher is painstakingly accurate and thorough and has done an incredible job not only turning up information but having the vision to package it in such a attractive AND usable way.

My apologies if praise for the CD-Rom has been given elsewhere on ET but, if it has, I've missed it. I just think it deserves to meet with the wholehearted gratitude of the Titanic research community. It's the very definition of first class work. Thanks Craig!

Applauding madly here as well- printed out it makes a formidable VOLUME for the bookshelf- beautifully organized, wonderfully portable and at the amazing price of 15.00- it IS the last word in research. Bravo.

Now you've all got me blushing! Thank you for those kind words, I must admit it has been quite an anxious time to see how the CD would be received. I did enjoy writing it though, and was quite surprised at what I knew.
'the last word in Titanic research'. Thank you Shelley, that is kind of you, but I'm sure there are others who could do better, and I know I'm waiting for Phil and Brian to complete their masterpiece.
Again, thank you

To Craig: Thank you for a job very well done!

To everybody else: If you haven't yet snapped up your copy, drop whatever you are doing and place your order now. I don't want to hear any excuses for delay. NOW.

For Craig it probably took about 20 years! For the rest of us, just a few days (UK delivery) if I remember right.

Dittos from California - for a "passenger dude" it REALLY catches the wave!

Have been browsing these bios with great interest. I was amazed to find out that 3rd class passenger Rosa Abbott was born in my hometown of Dudley, West Midlands! Up until now I thought the closest were the Davis brothers from West Bromwich. Thanks Craig! No doubt, I'm in for a few more surprises yet.

Cheers,

Craig, a belated congratulations on a stupendous undertaking and end product of which you should rightfully be proud. Anyone that hasn't gotten a copy of your CD should make it their prime objective. Great stuff--hope you make a fortune on it!

I've made a few references to Craig's excellent CD on other threads, but just to reinforce them now, this is a must-have for anyone interested in Titanic's people. Fascinating new details can be found in almost every biography, and even the cross-channel passengers are given their own substantial section.

Great Work!

I think I am mixed up...are we talking about a book or a CD-ROM (or both)?

It's on a CD-ROM in the form of a series of pdf files - like the ones used here on ET to display the research articles. There's no printed version unless you print out the 'pages' from your own computer. If you follow the link I gave in my earlier posting above you can download some samples in pdf format.

Hello Craig - Just heard about your terrific CD-ROM. What a great idea. I've been trying to research a 2nd class passenger William Henry Gillespie who died on Titanic. He was my uncle. Is it true that William had a wife? I will be grateful for a response. Thanks for your help. Carolyn [email protected]

Hello Carolyn,

Thank you for your comments. I understand that William had recently married, but that his wife was to remain in Ireland. In official claim materials, I have only seen William's mother mentioned. It is odd that his bride did not make a similar claim. Have you contacted Senan Maloney. He has done some magnificent research into the Irish on board the Titanic. It is likely that he would know, if anyone does.
Regards Craig
