Alfred Harmsworth, Lord Northcliffe (1865-1922), acquired The Times newspaper in 1908. In adding the most influential and reliable voice of the British establishment and of Imperially- fostered globalisation to his growing portfolio of newspapers and magazines, Northcliffe aroused some opposition among those who feared that he would rely on his seemingly infallible ear for the popular note and lower the tone and weaken the authority of The Times. Northcliffe had long hoped to prise this trophy from the control of the Walters family, convinced of his ability to make more of the paper than they had, and from the beginning applied his singular energy and intuition to improving the fortunes of ‘The Thunderer’.

  • The Titanic in April 1912, a Very Special Ship Was Launched
    Name: Purple A Class: Date: The Titanic In April 1912, a very special ship was launched. The Titanic was the largest ship ever built. Inside, it looked like a beautiful hotel. Some people called it a ‘floating palace’. The owners of the Titanic said it was the safest ship in the world. 1 Why do you think people said the Titanic was a ‘floating palace’? Tick one box. Because it was made of gold Because it looked very beautiful and expensive 1 Because it always stayed afloat 2 Find and copy two things that made the Titanic very special. 2 Everyone thought the Titanic was safe. The Titanic had a ‘double hull’, which meant that the outside of the ship was made in two layers. If one layer got damaged, the second layer would still keep out the water. The Titanic’s first journey was from Southampton, England, to New York, USA, across the Atlantic Ocean. At first, everything went well. But just a few nights after the ship left England, disaster struck! 3 Explain how the Titanic’s ‘double hull’ was meant to make it safe. 1 4 Where was the Titanic going on its first journey? Tick one box. Southampton Atlanta New York 1 2 Even though the sea was calm, the Titanic hit a huge iceberg. The ship sank very quickly, in deep water. There were over 2000 people on board, and more than 1500 of them lost their lives. But why exactly did the ship sink? For more than 70 years, people searched for the ship.

The celebrations and commemorative events that were held in Dublin in 2016 to mark the 100th anniversary of the Easter Rising took place not on the Rising’s anniversary date (24th April), but almost a month earlier, on Easter weekend, 27th-28th March.1 In making that decision, clearly practical considerations were at work; but it was a symbolic gesture too, recognising the powerful presence of ‘Easter’ in the Rising’s mythology.

  • Guide to Marianne Moore Series VI Family Correspondence
    Series VI: Family Correspondence Family correspondence is arranged chronologically. Beginning in 1848, it includes letters to and from the Rev. John Riddle Warner (MM’s maternal grandfather) from the time of his early pastoral work in Pennsylvania. Most of these letters (1848-1859) are written by or to Henry and Mary Warner (his parents), Henry Warner (his brother), and Annie Warner (Mrs. Robert) Armstrong (his sister). Other letters addressed “Dear Brother: ae from his ministerial colleagues. Beginning about 1859 there are added letters to and from Jennie Craig, who became his wife in 1860; her brother, George Craig; and the Eyster family, relative of the Craigs. Many letters are addressed from Laurel Hill, Pennsylvania, home of Jennie Craig and her family near Gettysburg. Jennie and John Warner lived near Gettysburg after their marriage. Mary Craig Warner was born to John and Jennie Warner in 1862. In September 1863, Jennie Warner died as a result of the disease which infested the Gettysburg area after the Civil War battle there. Infant Mary went to live with her Warner grandparents in Allegheny, Pennsylvania (now part of Pittsburgh). Letters from her to her “Pa” begin about 1870. About 1865, her father moved to Kirkwood Presbyterian Church. When Mary Warner reached high school age, she joined him, and attended the Mary Institute in St. Louis. She married John Milton Moore in 1884 and moved with him to Newton, Massachusetts, where their son, John Warner Moore, was born in 1886. While there, her husband suffered a nervous breakdown, and Mary Warner Moore returned to her father’s home in Kirkwood.

  • The Sinking of the Titanic: April 1912
    THE SINKING OF THE TITANIC: APRIL 1912 Adam Howard The history of the Titanic can be traced back as far as 1907 when J. Bruce Ismay and Lord James Pirrie, a partner in the firm Harland and Wolff met at a dinner party. Plans were made to build two ships, the Olympic and the Titanic. Each costing one and a half million pounds. Between 1908 and 1909, construction of both ships began in Belfast at Harland and Wolff shipyards. By May 1911 the hull of the Titanic was successfully launched. Then ten months of fitting was to follow. The boat was completed by March 31 and was due to set for her maiden voyage on April 10 1912. The Titanic was one of the largest and most luxurious ships in the world. It had a weight of 46,329 tons, and the Titanic was 882.5 feet long and 92.5 feet wide at its widest point. It had a double-bottomed hull divided into 16 compartments It was considered unsinkable. According to the official report the weather on the departure day was good. There was a “smooth sea and moderate south-westerly winds” perfect for the crossing . It was a day of excitement for all ,especially those who had incredible opportunity to walk on promenade decks of the ship seventy feet above the water. The newspaper reports of the time state that “ mass hysteria filled Liverpool harbour as the British luxury passenger liner embarked on its long awaited journey to New York” . The captain on board for the maiden voyage was Smith.
