There were 2,208 passengers and crew who boarded Titanic for her
maiden voyage in 1912. Each person had a unique life story to that point,
and unbeknown to them their stories were about to change forever. For
some, their lives would end on that dreadful night. For others, they would
survive after a night of unbelievable physical and mental anguish and be
forced to carry on for the rest of their lives as best they could. ÒTitanic
RemembranceÓ honors those passengers and crew.
The present author has been studying Titanic for the past twenty years.
Four years ago, an idea popped into my head: the passengers and crew of
Titanic should be honored in a daily blog in some of the Titanic groups on
Facebook in order to keep their memory alive. I started writing short
biographies in my own words and posted them in the FB groups. The
blog was named ÒTitanic Remembrance,Ó and over six hundred passengers
and crew members have been honored as of the writing of this book. Whilst
writing the daily Remembrance Posts another idea was in the back of my mind,
which was to write a book. Through the Remembrance posts and this book, Titanic
passengers and crew are remembered.
It is my humble pleasure to announce that the royalties (after taxes)
from this book will be donated to various Titanic Societies throughout the
world to help provide flowers and additional upkeep for Titanic passenger
and crew graves and memorials. In addition, depending on the royalties
available, a scholarship fund will be set up for a person with a Titanic
passion to attend a Titanic conference or convention that the person might
not otherwise be able to attend.
Thank you for considering adding this volume to your personal library. I hope youÕll enjoy your journey
with ÒTitanic RemembranceÓ the book.
