My distant cousin or uncle was Harry Cotterill, a 20 year old carpenter from Penzance, England who was travelling second class with his friend to ultimately go to Akron, Ohio. I’ve been wondering why he was headed for Akron and cannot find out why. I’ve e-mailed the Penzance area bulletin board but cannot find further information on Harry, who, along with his friend George, died on that night to remember. Ron Cotterill, Palm Harbor, FL
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!
