More Pictures from my
life |
|
|
 |
|
|
This is my sister Kathryn. Here
she is actually 15. She had helped me to raise Jenny (my other sister)
She was a courageous young lady to take on the task of raising Jenny by
herself when I left for Titanic. I had always wanted to protect her from
the terrible factories and experiences I had. But I had to leave, so
she was left alone. |
|
|
|
This is my younger sister, Jenny
she was 7 when I left on Titanic. She cried when I left and I felt bad
leaving her. She had been a darling and easy to raise without mother
there. She didn't understand really why I had to leave. I loved her
very much. I never wanted to leave them, but the pain was too
great. |

This is a picture of Titanic at
the Southampton port. This is what I saw first when I arrived in
Southampton. This is the greatest view of what I truly saw since it is a
shot from right on the ground. Of course, we left on April 10th,
1912. |

|
This is a boarding pass. This is
what John and I got. Of course Joseph, Alfred, and Uncle James got one
too. It was Uncle James who paid for our tickets. They had to pull
money together to get the tickets which was hard. The rest of John's
family was to come later. But we never made it
there. |

|
|
This is a luggage tag. We each
had one for each of our pieces of luggage. I had only 1 piece of
luggage. John and the others each had about 2. This picture is of one
that was found in the wreck. |

This is the train that took the
majority of Titanic's passengers to Southampton. John and his family
and I had a hard time reaching Southampton. The train left earlier than
we thought it did. But we got on another and finally
arrived. |

This is the White Star Line
Office. This is where the Titanic and Olympic and all the other ship's
were managed from. This is also where they posted the survivor lists.
I can only imagine what my sisters thought when they found out I was on
the ship and hadn't survived.... |

This is a rare photo of the bow of
Titanic. Most pictures of the bow are of the Olympic. But this is
authentic. I didn't spend any time on this part of the ship, but it was
a nice part. It was cluttered with equipment and I liked the back of
the ship more. This is a very blurry but it is still a good
picture. |

This is one of the open areas for
the passengers. This is what the third class open room looked like.
John and I spent lots of time here talking with people and talking with
each other. Uncle James was often seen here talking about physics and
other subjects to kids that didn't know what he was talking about. It
was a great place and everyone was kind. |

This is a picture of the near
collision of Titanic and the ship New York. Ironically, Titanic nearly
reached this New York but not the real city.... The New York was saved
when some tug boats pulled her away from Titanic's strong
currents. |

This is a picture of Titanic at
Queenstown. This was the last stop on many ship's voyages when going
across the ocean. This was also Titanic's last stop. It was also
called Cohb by the Irish. I could have boarded here and joined John
instead of taking a train across to England, but I wanted to be with him
when we boarded. This is one of the last pictures of Titanic also
because the photographer disembarked at Queenstown and took the last
picture right after Titanic left.... |
