I can claim a family connection to the Titanic...my great uncle was the 2nd Engineering Officer..James (John) Hesketh..he was the most senior engineer on duty at the time of the collision..he was the guy who closed the bulkhead doors..all the engineers went down with the ship.
His mum wouldn't accept that he had perished..he was only 31 and the youngest senior engineer in the White Star Line..she hoped he was safe on some uncharted island in the Atlantic...every night, she put his slippers in front of the fire to warm in the anticipation he would come home.
Another Brigg connection...the guy who owned Capps tv shop in Albert St some years ago..his great unCole was one of the lolookout in the crows-nest..the first to spot the iceberg.
They didn't have any binoculars...they were locked away after the purser who had the key, disembarked in Ireland before the Atlantic x-ing.
