Early news announces the disaster in this Richmond Va. newspaper. The early death toll figure is higher than what actually was, most likely due to an incomplete survivor list radioed in from Carpathia at the time this went to print.

one of four living Titanic passengers, will be guest of honour. Millvina was just nine weeks old when she was rescued from Titanic along with her mother and brother. Her father was lost when the ship went down. The sight of a tiny baby returning to England, a family抯 hopes of emigrating dashed yet a small life saved, endeared her to all aboard her ship and the public at home. Millvina will officially open the Titanic2002 event. Throughout the two days, lectures will be given on the Titanic experience by historians and experts, from academics to divers who have visited the wreck.

Titanic2002 will take place at the Moat House, Stratford-upon-Avon, October 12 to 13, 2002. Tickets for each day cost £6 adults and £3 children on the door.

Dua surat penumpang tragedi Titanic dilelong

NEW YORK: Dua surat penumpang kapal Titanic yang karam akan dilelong di New York, bulan depan dengan salah satunya menceritakan detik-detik manis sebelum belayar.

Surat yang mengisahkan 'Kisah Dalam Kapal RMS Titanic' itu dianggap paling unik dan berbeza dengan artifak Titanic lain yang ditimpa malapeta, kata pakar lelongan Robert Litzenberger, dari Pusat Lelongan Spink Smythe.

Kedua-dua surat akan dilelong 16 Januari ini dengan permulaan harga setiap satu ditawarkan antara AS$10,000 hingga AS$20,000.

Surat itu juga akan dilelong secara online oleh Spink Smythe.

Dalam salah satu surat, ahli perniagaan, Adolphe Saalfeld sempat menulis nota kepada isterinya sebelum Titanic belayar meninggalkan Pelabuhan Southampton pada 1912.

Selepas belajar, kapal mewah itu karam bersama 1,500 penumpang lain di utara Lautan Atlantik selepas kapal persiaran itu melanggar kubah ais.

揌ampir sejam saya berlegar-legar dalam kapal yang amat menakjubkan ini...saya amat menyukai kabin saya. Ia seperti sebuah kamar tidur dan agak luar.

"Saya pasti sayalah orang pertama menulis surat ini dalam kapal kerana mereka masih sibuk dengan urusan memasuki kapal," kata Saalfeld yang terselamat selepas menaiki bot kecemasan.

Satu lagi surat ditulis George Graham, seorang jurujual pasar raya.

Dalam suratnya itu, beliau meminta maaf kepada rakan perniagaannya kerana terlalu sibuk membuat persiapan belayar sehingga tidak dapat menghubungi rakannya.

揝aya berharap anda semua dalam keadaan baik walaupun sedikit lewat menghubungi anda.

"Saya berharap kita berjumpa lagi tahun depan," katanya dalam surat yang ditulis dalam detik-detik terakhir sebelum kapal itu karam. - AFP

jack dawson tu cuma watak dalam citer titanic .. sama gak ngan rose de witt bukater
nama, watak & citer deme memang fiction .. TAPIII

sebenarnya wujud .. " J. DAWSON " .. tapi dia bukannya penumpang macam dalam citer titanic tuh
dia sebenarnya salah sorang pekerja atas kapal tuh .. jap aku pastekan bio dia ..

Joseph Dawson

He was born in September1888

When the Titanic sank Joseph Dawson was aged 23 years

He was single.

He lived in Southampton Hampshire England

Occupation: Trimmer

He signed-on to the Titanic Engine crew at Southampton

Dawson died in the sinking. His body was recovered by the Mackay-Bennett (No. 227) and was buried at Fairview Lawn Cemetery Halifax Nova Scotia Canada on Wednesday 8th May 1912.

The real J. Dawson buried at Fairview Cemetery was James Dawson, a 23 year old native of Dublin Ireland. He was sandy-haired and had a moustach. He was hired on as one of about twenty coal trimmers, one of the lowliest jobs on the ship. When his body was found intact he was dressed in the coal-stained denim coat and pants that marked his place in the ship. His grave is one of the most visited and decorated of the Titanic graves in Halifax.
