Up until 1912, he was an unknown person apart from in nautical circles and was a British sailor that had served in the British Merchant Navy and the Royal Naval Reserve for many years. However, his name is now part of the grand legacy of the Titanic story. The Titanic needs no introduction, it is possibly the most known single word used that can bring up memories of the sinking of the ship for the relatives, it will reveal a story that is still known and discussed to this day. And yet, Captain Rostron had no connections with the ship, or the White Star Line before 1912. On the night of 14th/15th April 1912, because of his selfless actions, he would be best remembered as the Captain of the RMS Carpathia who rescued many hundreds of people from the sinking of the RMS Titanic, after it collided with an iceberg in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean. Image Copyright 9gag.com Rostron was born in Bolton on the 14th May 1869 in the town of Bolton. His birthplace was at Bank Cottage, Sharples to parents James and Nancy Rostron.

  • Branscombe Diaspora
    BRANSCOMBE DIASPORA If you look through the old parish registers or census returns, or wander round the graveyard, you’ll find family names that lasted for over a century – Bartletts, Perrys, Dowells, Deans, Frenchs, Gushs, Northcotts, Piles, Pikes, Wards, to name just a few. Nowadays these families have all gone. There are a few exceptions – a couple of Dowells, a Cox, a few hidden below a different surname (Betty Rowson was a Somers; Eileen Carpenter a Northcott; Jean Brimson a Perryman; Ivor Dowell’s mother was a Dean; John Bass’s a French; Sid Sweetland’s wife a Gosling; and Bill Carpenter & Frank Adlam are both members of the Ward clan) - but that’s all. People left the parish for many reasons. Branscombe was never a rich village and opportunities to get on’ were few and far between. By the nineteenth century – and earlier as well – people left to seek work, or maybe they’d got a girl in trouble, run up debts, or run foul of ‘important’ people within the community. Some, no doubt, went out of a spirit of adventure. By the mid nineteenth century, with the railways opening up, and mines and factories, London, Manchester, and South Wales were favoured locations. But some went much further afield, to the States and Canada, Australia and New Zealand, and South Africa. And it is these people that we would like to track. We’ve combed through our oral history transcripts, added details from the Parish Registers and Census Returns, as well as other stray references. We intend to trace the names of some of the ships on which the emigrants sailed.

  • Helen Churchill Candee – an Introduction
    Helen Churchill Candee – An Introduction Helen Churchill Candee was born in 1858 as Helen Churchill (her mother’s maiden name) Hungerford of New York. Her father was a successful merchant, and Helen grew up in relative comfort both there and in Connecticut where the family moved shortly thereafter. More important than the physical provisions prosperity allowed, she was exposed to ideas and stories, music and art, history and culture, in ways unlikely to have been possible had she lived a generation before, or anywhere else. Helen started her formal education in one of America’s first kindergartens, then attended several girls’ boarding schools of the sort only available to a certain quality of family – and even then mostly only those in New England. Before she was a teenager she spoke and wrote multiple languages, was schooled in grace and etiquette, and probably knew more history and literature than a majority of adult men in the nation at the time. She was particularly inspired, according to one diary entry, by an event at which Charles Dickens read aloud from one of his works. How many of you have heard Dickens live? My point exactly. She was born into the right sort of family in the right part of the country at a pretty good time to become what she became. While her life was not without suffering or tragedy, neither did she rise from rags and neglect to riches and fame. Upbringing mattered, as did education and opportunity. None of which detracts from her choices, hard work, or natural abilities, of course.

The ship was remarkable in that it was the first nuclear-powered merchant ship. It was constructed with funding from United States government agencies with the mission to prove that the US was committed to the proposition of using atomic power for peace and part of President Eisenhower's larger "Atoms for Peace" project. The sleek and modern design of the ship led to some maritime historians believing it was the prettiest merchant ship ever built. This china embodies both the mission of using nuclear power for peace while incorporating the design inclinations of the ship.

  • What Ever Happened to Robert
    www.encyclopedia-titanica.org This article is copyright Encyclopedia Titanica and its licensors © 2003 It may not be reproduced or transmitted in any form without permission. Whatever Happened to Robert Hichens by Phillip Gowan & Brian Meister When Bev Russell was just a little lad growing up in England, he considered it quite a treat to spend time with his grandmother. The clean and comfortable house on Shirley Road in Southampton had a quaint English charm about it and the matronly lady that lived there had a certain aura of dignity about her. And she was a wonderful cook. Often she was heard singing her favorite song, A Garden In Grenada, as she went about her daily chores. She was kind to her grandchildren and those that knew her hold onto their memories of the lady as precious keepsakes. In the days when the children used to visit her, their grandfather was still living too. But none of them ever met him, and no reason was ever offered as to why he never seemed to be around. In later years they would know the story of how he steered the great ship Titanic into an iceberg in 1912. But not one of them would ever know for sure what finally became of him. Until now, that is. Florence Mortimore was still a teenager when she met young Robert Hichens in early 1906. The spark between them was immediate and on a Tuesday night in the summertime, they took a leisurely stroll together prior to Robert’s going to sea. The next day, the young sailor made his interest known.

  • How to Survive the Titanic Or the Sinking of J. Bruce Ismay Free
    FREE HOW TO SURVIVE THE TITANIC OR THE SINKING OF J. BRUCE ISMAY PDF Frances Wilson | 352 pages | 14 Mar 2012 | Bloomsbury Publishing PLC | 9781408828151 | English | London, United Kingdom The Life of Bruce Ismay After Titanic’s Sinking – Part Two How to Survive the Titanic. Or The Sinking of J. Bruce Ismay Frances Wilson, Bloomsbury. Frances Wilson invokes Herman Melville to compare Ismay to Captain Ahab and even to Noah in this often ludicrous bookbut predominantly plumps for Joseph Conrad in her meditation on the life - and the elemental living - of this single individual, in whom is seemingly forever embarked the fate of fifteen hundred. The first syllable asserts enduring existence, the second an implication of twin alternatives. Ismay lived, and his reputation died. Had he not entered collapsible C it is scarcely imaginable that anyone would have branded him a coward. Instead mere mortality would have conferred its very opposite, in the palpable vein of an Isidor Straus or any other drowned potentate of the merchant classes. But such is a preserved-in-amber afterlife. With Ismay, though he now be dead, we can still poke the wounds. And so Wilson, as sanguinary soothsayer, enters into her very own launch — because this is a commercial voyage, complete with the richly absurd sales claim that Ismay fell in love with a married passenger on the maiden voyage. He did no such thing. It is as well that this work is largely a meditation — albeit with some interesting photographs and detail provided by the Cheape family — as the author seems only rudimentarily acquainted with the Titanic story.
