My name is Sharon Sinfield and My great grandfather was a junior engineer aboard the Titanic and unfortunately did not survive. My grandmother was only four years old when the Titanic went down so details of her father are very sketchy. Would appreciate any help as have been researching this for quite some time. I have researched it for quite a while but would like to positively establish who he was.We know he was a junior engineer and that he resided in forest gate, London before sailing.We believe that his family also resided in forest gate. He and my Great Grandmother were not married at the time of my Grandmothers birth in 1908. Please, can anybody help us as my father would dearly love to know about his grandfather. My grandmother (child of the engineer aboard titanic) led an unfortunate life, as you can imagine in 1912 growing up without a father.
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!
