  • The Titanic's “Unknown Child” 1912
    The Titanic’s “Unknown Child” 1912 Whenever the name of the ill-fated ship Titanic is mentioned it conjures up so many different feelings and thoughts - horror, disbelief, overwhelming sadness amongst them. Some families had to face even more heartache when it was announced officially that their relatives bodies had not been recovered. Many however even 100 years on can take hope from the story of the Goodwin family from Melksham and hope that one day DNA testing may find their loved ones and a name may be added to their memorial stone. The Goodwin family from Canon Square Melksham were accustomed to moving to pastures new to make new lives for themselves. The family had moved from their home in the South East to Wiltshire a few years prior to making the decision of starting a new life at Niagara Falls. The 1911 Census Return for the Goodwin Family The family, Frederick and Augusta Goodwin and their six children were to join Frederick’s brother Thomas who had secured Fred a job at the large power station nearby and had found them accommodation. Fred resigned his position at a Trowbridge printer where he was employed as a compositor. Fred booked 3rd class tickets for himself and family to sail from Southampton aboard the vessel “New York” but due to the miner’s strike the New York’s departure was held up and so the family were transferred to the R.M.S. Titanic, a cruel twist of fate. The family, Fred aged 42, Augusta 43, Lilian 16, Charles 14, William 11, Jessie 10, Harold 9 and toddler Sidney 2 (Sidney in fact was just 17 months old having been born on 9th September 1910), boarded The Titanic and set sail for New York on 10th April 1912 from Southampton.

  • Halifax, Nova Scotia and the Maritimes Have to Offer”
    Quoted by Bob: “As with snowflakes, no two sightseeing tours are ever exactly the same, there's a personal touch added to each trip. Our tours are not of the "cookie cutter" variety - we're "home-made" and unique! All our tours will give you the very best sightseeing Halifax, Nova Scotia and the Maritimes have to offer”. That is the truth. There is no way that we could have planned this trip on our own. Bob made us feel very comfortable as passengers, the sightseeing was amazing, the meals and lodgings were great. Bob’s knowledge of area history, his personal stories and insights and great sense of humor left never a dull moment. We had so much fun it should have been illegal. In short Sheri and I both say “Bob’s our Uncle” and would not hesitate to hire or recommend Blue Diamond Tours in the future. The photograph above - Blue Diamond Tours is operated by THAT GUY in the tie. Day Zero – The Grand Arrival - July 4th 2012 The first leg of our flight was to depart Grande Prairie to Calgary at 7:00 am. The time shift from Chetwynd to Halifax is 4 hours and 3 hours from Grande Prairie. Our flight was delayed by about a ½ hour. That being said when we departed in Calgary the final boarding call for Halifax was being announced. No time to grab a bite or Pee – Just run. The flight to Halifax (4 ½ Hours) was mostly uneventful. Using a bathroom on a plane is slightly nicer than using an outhouse on the prairies – it smells better and lacks flies.

  • Nova Scotia (New Scotland) Was Originally Inhabited by the Mi'kmaq
    Nova Scotia (New Scotland) was originally inhabited by the Mi’kmaq (Mi’gmaq/Micmac) Peoples. They are considered First Nations people indigenous to Canada’s Atlantic Provinces. According to W.E. deGarthe, the forests and trees are gone today. Even the once rich soil has been swept away by wind, rain and clearing by settlers. Early in the 1600s, European settlers arrived in the Halifax region. They established Acadia. The British settled Halifax in 1749 and set up a fort to guard against the Mi’kmaq, Acadians and French. During the 1750s, St. Margaret’s Bay (Peggy’s Cove) was first settled by the French. In 1811, a grant was issued by the Province of Nova Scotia to six families of Peggy Cove. Governmentally, Halifax has gone through three changes. In 1749, it was the Town of Halifax. In 1842, it became an incorporated city. On April 1, 1996, Nova Scotia dissolved the City of Halifax and combined four municipalities within the County of Halifax into Halifax Regional Municipality. It is the largest city in Nova Scotia with a metro population nearing 500,000 people. Halifax, as a seaport, played a key role throughout the history of Canada and the United States. In April of 1912, during recovery efforts following the sinking of the RMS Titanic, Halifax became the mortuary and identification center. Of the 2,224 passengers and crew, 1500 people perished. Only 330 bodies were recovered. 150 bodies are buried in three local cemeteries. The remainder were returned to relatives/family. There are many interesting facts regarding the handling of bodies and the role of the White Star Line, owner of the Titanic.

  • 1 Lazuli Bunting Manuscript Review History Manuscript
    1 LAZULI BUNTING MANUSCRIPT REVIEW HISTORY MANUSCRIPT (ROUND 1) Abstract One hundred years after its sinking, the Titanic holds many in its thrall. If not quite a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma, it continues to captivate consumers worldwide. This paper explores RMS Titanic from a cultural branding perspective, arguing that “the unfathomable brand” can be fruitfully examined through the ambiguous lens of literary criticism. Although brand ambiguity is often regarded as something to be avoided, this article demonstrates that ambiguity is a multi-faceted construct, five aspects of which are discernible in the brand debris field surrounding the totemic vessel. Combining empirical research and archival investigation, the article contends that ambiguity is a strength, rather than a weakness, of iconic brands like Titanic. This document is part of a JCR Manuscript Review History. It should be used for educational purposes only. 2 In my own dreams of the Titanic, I am a disembodied robotic eye, gliding like a wayward star through the adits of its wrecked Atlantean cathedral, or through a porthole oculus, taking account of tilted apses and saloons, wandering their marble stairs and passageways. —Ciaran Carson, The Star Factory Paul Tillich (1952), the eminent theologian, defines maturity as an ability to tolerate ambiguity. If this is correct, then branding probably qualifies as a mature marketing practice. The early certainties of branding, encapsulated in Rosser Reeves’ (1961) USP, are gradually giving way to cultural and critical perspectives that are more oceanic, more polysemic, more amorphous than before (Bengtsson and Ostberg 2006; Beverland 2009; Kates and Goh 2003; Puntoni, Schroeder, and Ritson 2010).

On the rear of one of these maps was written the telephone number of a local taxi firm in addition to other notations she had written, indicating she may have asked several individuals for directions.
