Titanic – The Jersey Story
Discover the fascinating stories of the Jersey passengers and crew on board the Titanic on its fateful maiden voyage in 1912.
There were ten Jersey passengers and crew members on board the RMS Titanic when it left Southampton on 10 April 1912. Five days later, the “unsinkable” ship would lie at the bottom of the ocean having struck an iceberg. The loss of life was around 1,500 passengers and crew, making it one of the deadliest peacetime sinkings of a single ship.
Jersey passengers were travelling in First and Second Class; Lady Duff-Gordon, the celebrated fashion designer; Rosalie Bidois, personal maid to the wealthy American Astor family; and young Bertha Ilett, travelling on her own, all survived to testify to the events of that night. The fates of the Jersey crew members were far more precarious.
