My name is Eardley Bryan. My ex-wife’s great uncle was Herbert Pitman, Third Officer on the Titanic. He was approached by the author of the book “A Night to Remember” and told him that he was not interested in helping and later wrote to my late mother-in-law, his niece, “It is a lot of rubbish”. He is buried in the churchyard in small Somerset village. I have typed several of his war-time letters and they make interesting reading, but with no Titanic references, apart from that one remark about the book. I think that he felt that he did not want to have to go through it again, even though he did read the serialization of the book in the National press. Eardley Bryan
About This Site
This website relates to the story of the Titanic. The Grand Ocean liner sank during its maiden journey on April 15, 1912. The death toll was 1523 of the 2228 passengers and crew members aboard. There were only 705 that survived. But there is more to the story of the Titanic than just the sinking. There is the connection people feel when they open their hearts to the event. Then there is also the Children of the Titanic, the people that are related to a person aboard the ship. In all reality anyone that feels connected in there heart to the Titanic somehow can be called a “Child of the Titanic”. So on that note! Welcome Aboard the Enchanted Titanic!
