Thanks Tom,
I had an idea that the info i had was ok i just wanted to make sure, thanks for getting back to me, at the moment i am in the process of finalising my book and the publishers have faxed me several proposed covers for me to decide on so its just a case of making a final decision. I'm hoping it will be finalised by next month. Booty |

RMS Majestic (1):
White Star Lines slightly younger sister ship of Teutonic, Majestic was launched at Harland and Wolff on 29th June 1889. Her maiden voyage from Liverpool - New York started on 2nd April 1890. She won the Blue Riband for a westbound crossing of 5 days, 18 hours and 8 minutes, at an average speed of 21 knots, in July 1891. She had two trooping voyages during the Boer war, during December 1899 and February 1900. During 1902-1903, she had her funnels made higher, new boilers fitted and had one of her three masts removed. In June 1907 she moved to the Southampton - New York service. She was taken out of service in November 1911 and put into reserve due to Olympic coming into service. After Titanic sank on her maiden voyage, Majestic was put back into service as Titanic's "replacement". According to 9th May 1913 New York times...In May of 1913 a crew member of Majestic (presumed to have) committed suicide by jumping over board. About 3 days after that another crew member tried to commit suicide by jumping over board but was heard and seemed to change his mind once he hit the water, Majestic's port side emergency boat was lowered into the sea and Majestic's first officer David Blair (the same man who was second officer on Titanic until Mr Wilde was made chief officer, just for her maiden voyage) jumped over board to save the man, both him and the man were safely brought back onboard. Majestic started her last voyage on 14th January 1914 and was then sold for scrap. The owners of the ship breakers made a nice bit of money from Majestic by opening her to the public during the summer of 1914. Please only reproduce what I have written..if you add at the end of it: Source: © Thomas Dyer. Tom |
