  • Titanic Crew
    Titanic continues to capture the popular imagination even 100 hundred years after her tragic loss in the North Atlantic in 1912. However much of that focus is on the disparity between the survival rates of the first and third class passengers and the loss of the rich and famous on board. Often overlooked are the crew of the Titanic of whom four out of five lost their lives in the disaster. James Cronan and Janet Dempsey have used the original Titanic crew records held at the National Archives to attempt to redress this balance, not only looking at the crew who lost their lives but also following the fate of those who survived and in many cases actually carried on a career at sea. This definitive reference work includes a listing of all Titanic’s crew, recording those who were lost and saved; a gallery of unique previously unseen photographs of Titanic crew survivors; five in depth case studies including Captain E.J.Smith, Violet Jessop and Frederick Woodford; an in depth analysis of the crew list and guidance on how to undertake research with regards to Merchant Navy officers and seamen in the early twentieth century. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To the Treasurer, List and Index Society (LIS 12), c/o The National Archives, Kew, Richmond, TW9 4DU, UK Please supply …. ..copies of Ship Lost – The Fate of Titanic’s Crew on publication at £22 which includes UK p&p and List and Index membership which entitles members to discounts on previous and future List and Index Society publications.

  • The Controversy Lives On
    Chapter XVII THE CONTROVERSY LIVES ON Two major inquiries took place following the loss of Titanic. The first began in America on Friday, April 19, 1912, when a subcommittee of the United States Senate Committee on Commerce started to take testimony from J. Bruce Ismay, who was the Managing Director of the White Star Line and a Titanic survivor. The second major inquiry, conducted in Britain, began on Thursday, May 2, 1912, with a review of the order for a formal investigation into the loss of Titanic by the Board of Trade. The first witness called before the Wreck Commissioner’s Court the following day was Titanic’s lookout Archie Jewell. With regard to witnesses from Californian, only three were called before the US Senate inquiry in America, all on Friday, April 26, 1912. They were Second Donkeyman Ernest Gill, who was followed later that day by Captain Stanley Lord, and then by Wireless Operator Cyril Evans. In addition to these three Californian witnesses, influential input regarding the possible whereabouts of Californian was provided to the Senate investigation by US Navy Captain John Knapp of the Bureau of Navigation’s Hydrographic Office on Saturday, May 18, 1912. Appearing before the British Wreck Commission inquiry from Californian were seven witnesses.1 First to testify was Captain Stanley Lord, who was followed by Apprentice James Gibson, and then by Second Officer Herbert Stone on Tuesday, May 14, 1912. The next to testify were Third Officer Charles Groves, followed by Chief Officer George Stewart, and then by Wireless Operator Cyril Evans on Wednesday, May 15, 1912.

  • Political and Diplomatic Lessons of the Falklands War
    Political and Diplomatic Lessons of the Falklands War Ken Kotani Introduction This paper focuses on the Thatcher administration’s foreign diplomacy and conduct of war during the Falklands War. Full-fledged research on the history of this war has been facilitated by the publication of a detailed official history of the Falklands War by Professor Lawrence Freedman of King’s College London, along with the release of previously closed documents and other material by the British National Archives in December 2012.1 Leaving the details of the Falklands War to Freedman’s official history, this paper shall examine the Thatcher administration’s conduct of war, specifically: (1) the extent to which the Thatcher administration was aware of the situation before the war; and (2) the Thatcher administration’s foreign diplomacy and conduct of war. 1. Did Prime Minister Thatcher have a grasp of the situation? When unraveling the history of the Falklands War, the issues which always become the focus of debate are whether Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was adequately aware of the situation regarding the Falklands before the war, and if so, the degree to which she did and the reasons why she did not take earlier action. The Thatcher administration’s handling of the Falklands issue is often compared with the policy of deterrence adopted by James Callaghan’s Labour Party administration in 1977. The Joint Intelligence Committee (JIC) of the Cabinet Office estimated in October 1977 that Argentine forces were plotting a landing on the South Sandwich Islands, which was British territory. Prime Minister Callaghan accordingly made the risky decision to prepare for any contingency by sending a British fleet to stand by in the vicinity of the Falklands.2 Compared to the action taken by the Callaghan administration, the Thatcher administration’s actions in 1982 seem to lack a sense of urgency.
