That’s Churchill? I thought it was the Man from Del Monte

@remembrancewatch.bsky.social Rumour has it that he leaves Cherwell District Council’s buildings at night and drinks by the war memorial.

@jessicarainbow.bsky.social Thank you for your Italo video. Helped me to book my travel between Venice and Trieste in a few weeks 😊

Ah cool! Looked like a cracker ♥️

Looks like great fun. Is that a private event or is it something that will open to the public?

Good morning. We are open. 📖☕️

What an interesting idea…

He proposed that ships should be designed in a way that the upper deck would simply float off in the event of a sinking. This deck should have a larder and wireless telegraph. In his view, the passengers would be ‘standing at ease.’ (3.) #titanic

Mr J Smith, a farmer and regular correspondent with the Ardrossan and Saltcoats Herald, was undeterred by his lack of shipbuilding or engineering experience and shared his idea with the readers of the newspaper (2.) #titanic

The Titanic disaster provoked a lot of different responses, but one man from Dalry, Ayrshire was determined to redesign ships to make them safer (1.) #titanic

Beautiful cover art. Congratulations

In the same article apparently the Baltic’s run was otherwise not uneventful, ‘a male passenger died and a woman became insane.’ Lads, it’s not a competition!

Just read that certain passengers of the Baltic were given a log of the Baltic’s backward run towards the Titanic’s position. Wonder if any of them survive. Would love to see one #titanic #baltic

Newspaper articles in Scotland in the weeks following the disaster, joined an international chorus of sorrow, scepticism, and accusation. The quote in the previous post was taken from a reflective and prosaic piece written by an Ayrshire local - deeply struck by the disaster. #titanic #scotland

‘Only humanity triumphs. They let the women and children go. What partings. But who shall picture that last awful moment when the sea prepares to engulf its latest greatest victim?’ Ardrossan and Saltcoats Herald, Friday 19 April 1912. #titanic #scotland
