Titanic Survivors List

Not a lot of talk of the Scots who were aboard the Titanic, either as passengers, or more likely as crew. Here is a listing of all of the survivors. In the drop down box, you can also search by first, second or third class passengers, servants of passengers, crew lists, children, engineers, postal clerks, restaurant crew and orchestra members. Victims are also listed and these are broken down further to those recovered by Minna and those recovered by Mackay Bennett.
The list provides the passenger's name, age, ticket number, passage paid, where they embarked. If you click on the passenger's name, you will be shown their destination, the boat they were rescued on, the year they died and a biography. There is often also a photograph.

Happy Searching!

Crew Lists

If you have ancestors who were on British Merchant Ships, you can now have a look at the indexes to the Crew Lists from FindMyPast.  For those of you who do not have a FindMyPast subscription, it will cost you 5 credits to view a single crew member and another 15 to view the crew list.

From these indexes, you will get enough information to search other respositories where the original documents can be found. Minimally, you will get the Official Vessel Number from the crew lists. You will need this number to access the original record. Most of the records are available at the Maritime History Archive. The records detail the employment of each member of the crew. This includes deck hands, stewards, maids, nurses and engine staff. These were updated every six months.

Happy Searching!
