RMS Titanic


From the April 13, 2012, Wall St. Journal.

The Titanic went to Cherbourg, France, after leaving Southampton in England. It made its final port of call at Cobh, Ireland. Initial distress calls were picked up at Cape Race, Newfoundland. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch had a reporter on the SS Carpathian who got a scoop of a lifetime.

From the April 12, 2012, L.A. Times.

Ancestry.com has thousands of records on the crew and passengers available. Passengers are available by name and ship class. This information is temporarily available for free (back in 2012). They also have the coroner's inquest on bodies recovered and headstone images of the 121 victims buried in Halifax.

Quite the Centennial Back in 2012.
