Hi Wendy,
I just finished reading the biography of William Murdoch on the Dalbeattie website, he strikes me as a highly competent, long serving officer. According to the article, he was raised around the sea, and seafaring. There is a lot of scepticism about the story about his suicide- I tend to disbelieve it, I have a hard time believing a senior officer, at a time of need would do something like that. Walter Lord viewed the story with considerable suspicion too- I was watching an interview, and he expressed doubt. It also said in the biography your family was always connected to the sea-I found that fascinating I am sure you have seen it, but here is the link to the biography I was reading. http://www.dalbeattie.com/titanic/wmmlife.htmthe sea I hope you will be active with the group, it is always nice to hear from someone who has a personal story to tell- just reading history tends to give people a single dimension, but reading about someone's background, like William Murdoch adds some flesh and blood to the stories. |
